orcaflex 9.6aBuoys The slam area used for slam force calculation was not very reasonable for a hollow spar buoy or towed fish whose axis was not normal to the surface. Previously the slam area was always the waterplane intersection area of the cylinder annulus, but for a hollow buoy hitting with its axis parallel to the water surface it is much more reasonable to use slam area equal to the waterplane intersection area of the whole cylinder (outer diameter). OrcaFlex spreadsheet The OrcaFlex spreadsheet is now compatible with Office 2013.Bug fixes Previous versions of OrcaFlex contained a very subtle bug affecting dynamic simulations using the implicit solver. The problem only occurred when connections were released during the simulation. For example,...
