ProteusDS Light Edition (LE) Compatible Tutorials

Note

• The ProteusDS LE licence allows users to design and test single leg sub-surface or surface moorings.
• Light edition users can complete their mooring simulations using a single Cable or QuasiStaticCable DObject.
• Multiple mooring line material properties and accessories and attachments (e.g. acoustic release, floats, clump mass, CTDs, acoustic sensors, etc.) can be accounted for using DCableSegment, ExtMass, and ExtMassCylinder Features.
• LE users that wish to make use of the advanced RigidBody hydrodynamic modelling features, or, simulate multiple mooring legs or bridles, will need to upgrade to a Professional Edition licence.
• The following is a list of LE compatible tutorials:

• Creating a project
• Run a simulation with PointMass
• Use PostPDS to visualize a simulation
• Simulate a Cable
• Use Plots in PostPDS
• Review output files
• Review integrator settings and mass-spring-damper
• Use ExtMass and ExtMassCylinder Features with Cables
• Simulate a subsurface mooring with a Cable
• Import features from libraries
• Use multiple materials in Cables with DCableSegment Features
• Insert inline mooring instruments in Cables
• Simulate a QuasiStaticCable
• Simulate a subsurface mooring with QuasiStaticCable
• Simulate a surface mooring with QuasiStaticCable
• Create a simulation summary report
• Export simulation results
• Convert a QuasiStaticCable to Cable
• Simulate a surface mooring with Cable
• Simulate an advanced single leg mooring
• Connect a Cable with a PointMass
• Mooring seabed interaction
• Batch Simulations with ProteusDS Queueing Manager (PQM)
• Fiber rope cable properties
• Wire rope cable properties
• Chain properties
• Cable internal/structural damping
• Nonlinear axial rigidity
• Use of environment probes
• Current profiles
