Aqwa

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
• ISO 19901-7: Offshore structures - Station keeping
• IEC 61400-3: Wind turbines - Offshore requirements

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()
