vamseeachanta Orcaflex Operability
When to Use
- Operability envelope generation for mooring systems
- Weather downtime calculations from scatter diagrams
- Critical heading identification for design loads
- Multi-sea-state analysis (1yr, 10yr, 100yr return periods)
- Tension limit assessment (intact vs damaged conditions)
- Annual operational availability studies
- Polar coordinate visualization of system limits
Prerequisites
- OrcaFlex simulation results (.sim files) for multiple headings
- Wave scatter diagram (Hs-Tp probability matrix)
- Python environment with
digitalmodelpackage installed - Tension limits for intact and damaged conditions
Python API
Basic Operability Analysis
from digitalmodel.orcaflex.operability_analysis import OperabilityAnalyzer
# Initialize analyzer
analyzer = OperabilityAnalyzer(
simulation_directory="results/.sim/",
output_directory="reports/operability/"
)
# Generate operability envelope
*See sub-skills for full details.*
### Weather Downtime Calculation
```python
from digitalmodel.orcaflex.operability_analysis import OperabilityAnalyzer
import pandas as pd
analyzer = OperabilityAnalyzer(
simulation_directory="results/.sim/",
output_directory="reports/"
)
# Load wave scatter diagram
*See sub-skills for full details.*
### Critical Headings Analysis
```python
from digitalmodel.orcaflex.operability_analysis import OperabilityAnalyzer
analyzer = OperabilityAnalyzer(
simulation_directory="results/.sim/",
output_directory="reports/"
)
# Identify critical headings
critical = analyzer.generate_critical_headings_report(
*See sub-skills for full details.*
### Comprehensive Report Generation
```python
from digitalmodel.orcaflex.operability_analysis import OperabilityAnalyzer
analyzer = OperabilityAnalyzer(
simulation_directory="results/.sim/",
output_directory="reports/"
)
# Generate comprehensive HTML report with all analyses
report_path = analyzer.generate_comprehensive_report(
*See sub-skills for full details.*
