Maxsurf Webinar 8 - Motions Prediction Using Seakeeper (Introduction)

Our eighth Maxsurf webinar was held July 19th 2011. The topic was Motions Prediction Using Seakeeper (Introduction).

This webinar reviewed techniques for:

  • background to strip theory prediction of motions
  • vessel settings for mass and damping, speeds and headings
  • sea state settings for wave height and period
  • numerical results of motions, MSI and MII
  • graphical results of RAOs and MSI
  • visualisation of vessel motions
