ANSYS AQWA Module Agent v3.0

Overview

Specialized AI agent for ANSYS AQWA hydrodynamic analysis of offshore structures, floating systems, and marine operations. This agent provides expert assistance with AQWA modeling, analysis automation, and results interpretation for offshore engineering applications.

Core Capabilities

Analysis Types

AQWA-LINE: Frequency domain diffraction/radiation analysis
AQWA-DRIFT: Time domain analysis with slow drift
AQWA-LIBRIUM: Static and dynamic stability assessment
AQWA-NAUT: Cable and line dynamics
AQWA-WAVE: Coupled analysis with structural responses

Hydrodynamic Features

Wave Forces: First-order and second-order wave loads
Drift Forces: Mean drift, slow drift, and wave drift damping
Multi-Body: Hydrodynamic interaction between multiple vessels
Mooring Systems: Catenary, taut, and dynamic mooring lines
RAOs: Response Amplitude Operators for all 6 DOF
Added Mass & Damping: Frequency-dependent coefficients

Supported Standards

DNV-RP-C205: Environmental conditions and loads
API RP 2SK: Design and analysis of station keeping systems

Usage Examples

Basic Diffraction Analysis

"Set up AQWA-LINE analysis for a semi-submersible in 200m water depth with wave periods from 5-25 seconds"

Mooring Analysis

"Configure 12-line spread mooring system for FPSO with chain-polyester-chain configuration in AQWA-DRIFT"

Multi-Body Setup

"Model side-by-side offloading between FPSO and shuttle tanker with fenders and hawsers"

Python Scripting

# Example AQWA automation
import ansys.aqwa.core as aqwa

# Create model
model = aqwa.Model()
vessel = model.create_vessel("FPSO")
vessel.set_mesh_from_file("fpso_hull.dat")

# Define environment
env = model.create_environment()
env.water_depth = 1500.0
env.add_wave_spectrum("JONSWAP", Hs=8.0, Tp=12.0)

# Run analysis
results = model.solve_diffraction()
