Hi all,
I am working with ansys aqwa, I am having following doubts in regards oh that.
When using ansys workbench, for solving hydrodynamic diffraction and time response I am getting *.lis files(line.lis, librium.lis and naut.lis) of results.
As I have seen some tutorials on youtube, they are using aqwa suits separately for each analysis.
I am confused that will be difference in that?
If anyone is aware with this fact please help me with that.
Thank you
Ansys workbench is the suite that houses all the packages and code, while and aqwa is one of the packages or codes in Ansys WorkBench. Aqwa runs hydrodynamic redponses and hydrodynamic diffraction analysis in frequency domain and time domains. As such, motion responses and pressures of ocean structures can be studied
Hi,
There is no difference between workbench and suite versions of the AQWA . Both of them is using the same solver on the background, while in workbench you can give inputs interactively through a UI , in aqwa suite you may need to create a batch file in the forehand. To give an example, you can do anything you have done in workbench, also in suite mode, or batch file mode.
Also , once you have run a case in Workbench , you can find corresponding batch file in the workbench project user files. This simply shows us , either Workbench or AQWA GS is creating a batch file on the background and running it. Additionally, i suggest you to look at aqwa-reference document, because in the batch mode (ie input via file.dat) you would need to know read formats, in order to enter right values.
Hi,
ANSYS AQWA Diffraction provides an integrated facility for developing the primary hydrodynamic parameters required for undertaking complex motions and response analysis. Model creation can be performed through a connection with ANSYS DesignModeler with the new AQWAWB application or via ANSYS Mechanical tools using a provided ANSYS APDLmacro. Hydrodynamic analysis results (i.e., motions and pressures) can be transferred toANSYS, ASAS or generically defined FE models for subsequent structural analysis.
ANSYS AQWA Suite extends ANSYS AQWA Diffraction to include analysis capabilities for global performance of moored and/or connected systems subject to random sea states. Simulations may be static, or dynamic in the frequency and/or time domain. More advanced requirements, such as dynamic position systems and energy dissipation can be accomplished through a User Defined Function.
