Other programs that use the OrcaFlex programming interface (OrcFxAPI) such as Distributed OrcaFlex and the OrcaFlex spreadsheet are also monitored.

You can obtain information on each licence claim that includes.

For this to happen, the client program needs to know where the OLM server is and looks for this information in the Windows registry.

When installing the OLM viewer component on a users computer you will be prompted for the OLM server address and the installer will set the registry with this value.

If the OLM viewer is not being installed on the computer running the client program, then the registry needs to be set manually.

The client program displays the OLM server address it finds in the About information under the main Help menu.

However, this monitor obtains the information directly from the licence manager and so is a useful tool in locating OrcaFlex installations that are not reporting their usage to the OLM server correctly.

The AKS monitor can be downloaded from our licence support page.

This article explores the effects of coupling the wind turbine with the floating platform, the effects of water depth, and the effects of wind speed on the systems performance.

From an engineering perspective, systembehavior and line loads must be studied well to ensure the overall design is fit for the intended purpose.

FAST (Fatigue, Aerodynamics, Structures and Turbulence) is a comprehensive simulation tool used for modeling land-based and offshore wind turbines.

In the case of a floating turbine, continuous cable theory is used to emulate mooring line dynamics.

Higher modeling fidelity can be gainedthrough the use of finite element mooring theory.

This can be achieved through the FASTlink coupling module, which couples FAST with OrcaFlex, a commercial simulation tool used for modeling mooring line dynamics.

In this application, FAST is responsible for capturing the aerodynamic loads and flexure of the wind turbine and its tower, and OrcaFlex models the mooring line and hydrodynamic effectsbelow the water surface.

This paper investigates the accuracy and stability of the FASTOrcaFlex coupling operation.

Methods for the coupled structural, hydrodynamic, and aerodynamic analysis of floating wind turbine systems are presented in the frequency domain.

Analysis tools were developed more to consider coupled interactions between the wind turbine and the floating system.

These include the gyroscopic loads of the wind turbine rotor on the tower and floater, the aerodynamic damping introduced by the wind turbine rotor, the hydrodynamic damping introduced by wave-body interactions, and the hydrodynamic forces caused by wave excitation.

Analyses were conducted for two floater concepts coupled with the NREL 5-MW Offshore Baseline wind turbine in water depths of 10-200 m: the MITNREL Shallow Drafted Barge (SDB) and the MITNREL Tension Leg Platform (TLP).

These concepts were chosen to represent two different methods of achieving stability to identify differences in performance and cost of the different stability methods.

The static and dynamic analyses of these structures evaluate the systems responses to wave excitation at a range of frequencies, the systems natural frequencies, and the standard deviations of the systems motions in each degree of freedom in various wind and wave environments.
