Orcaflex Specialist

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when you need to:

• Automate OrcaFlex model creation and analysis
• Build parametric OrcaFlex models via Python API
• Perform batch simulations with varying parameters
• Extract and process time series results
• Validate OrcaFlex models against design criteria
• Integrate OrcaFlex with external tools and workflows
• Optimize mooring and riser configurations
• Conduct sensitivity studies and Monte Carlo simulations

Core Knowledge Areas

1. OrcaFlex Python API Basics

Connecting to OrcaFlex and basic model operations:

import OrcFxAPI
import numpy as np
from pathlib import Path
from typing import List, Dict, Optional

def create_new_model(
    general_data: dict,

*See sub-skills for full details.*
### 2. Building Models Programmatically

Create complex models via Python API:

```python
def create_vessel_model(
    vessel_params: dict,
    mooring_config: dict,
    environment: dict
) -> OrcFxAPI.Model:
    """
    Create complete vessel model with moorings and environment.

*See sub-skills for full details.*
### 3. Results Extraction and Post-Processing

Extract time series and perform analysis:

```python
def extract_time_series(
    model: OrcFxAPI.Model,
    object_name: str,
    variable_name: str,
    object_extra: OrcFxAPI.OrcaFlexObjectExtra = OrcFxAPI.oeEndA,
    period: OrcFxAPI.SpecifiedPeriod = OrcFxAPI.SpecifiedPeriod(OrcFxAPI.pnWholeSimulation)
) -> tuple:

*See sub-skills for full details.*
### 4. Batch Simulation and Parametric Studies

Automate multiple simulation runs:

```python
def batch_simulation(
    base_model_path: Path,
    parameter_sets: List[dict],
    output_dir: Path,
    parallel: bool = False
) -> List[dict]:
    """

*See sub-skills for full details.*


Automated model checking:

```python
 validate_model() -> :
    
    Extreme response analysis using irregular wave simulations.
