Orcaflex Modeling

When to Use

• Setting up OrcaFlex analysis projects with standardized folder structure
• Running static or dynamic hydrodynamic simulations
• Batch processing multiple OrcaFlex models (.yml, .dat files)
• Configuring mooring analysis or iterative simulations
• Using the universal runner for pattern-based batch execution
• Preprocessing vessel data and checking model configurations
• Hydrodynamic analysis and mooring system design
• Riser analysis and installation sequence planning
• Fatigue assessment of offshore structures

Prerequisites

• OrcaFlex license (checked via OrcFxAPI)
• Python environment with digitalmodel package installed
• YAML configuration files for analysis parameters
