Hydrodynamic Loading
Hydrodynamic loadings include the forces due to steady currents, oscillatory currents, and wave action on the submerged portions
of the piping system. The Wave command uses static analysis to model hydrodynamic effects. A given static analysis computes the
response of the structure to a static load representing the force distribution at a given instant of the wave loading cycle (defined
by the phase angle, ). Thus, a series of these instantaneous static analyses can be used to trace out the system response over
the entire wave cycle.
