Trident WaveLoad
WaveLoad software performs seakeeping
analysis to accurately predict motion, hull pressure
distributions and sea loads for ships with variable
forward speed in waves. Mono or multi-hull ships of
any type can be modelled in regular or irregular waves
and any sea state. WaveLoad also allows for multiple
ships to be modelled at the same time for hydrodynamic
interaction analysis.
WaveLoad is a potential flow, three-dimensional panel-method
code based on the Green’s function. WaveLoad
is available in both frequency domain (FD) and time
domain (TD) versions.
Key features:
- Determine ship motion in six degrees of freedom:
Surge, Sway, Heave, Roll, Pitch and Yaw
- Analyze hydrodynamic pressure distributions on
ship hull
- Compute sea loads including shear forces, bending
and torsion moments on any hull section
- Model ships with variable forward speed in regular
and irregular waves
- Perform multiple-ship hydrodynamic interaction
analysis
- Review numerical results data, including RAO’s,
added mass, damping coefficients, and wave exciting
forces diagrams
- View contour plots and animations of pressure
distributions and actual ship motions
- Import results directly into Martec’s Trident
FEA software for finite element-based structural
analysis
