Simulation Setup (+2)
Simulation Setup
- Consistent headings - Use regular intervals (15° or 30°)
- Sufficient sea states - Cover full scatter diagram range
- Consistent naming - Include heading in filename
- Complete simulations - Ensure all finish successfully
Limit Selection
- Intact limit - Based on design code (e.g., 60% MBL)
- Damaged limit - Account for redundancy (e.g., 80% MBL)
- Include safety factors - Per API RP 2SK or DNV
Weather Downtime
- Site-specific scatter - Use project metocean data
- Operational limits - Define based on system capabilities
- Weather windows - Consider minimum window requirements
