Detailed Description

Author

Jørgen Haavind Jensen

Simobject name for use in input file: Cable.

Retains the same structural properties as the simObject CFlexibleBottomRing, but has a simpler interface where Young's and shear moduluses are provided rather than using the \(\alpha\), \(\beta\) and \(\epsilon\) values used in CFlexibleBottomRing.

Parameters

Parameter	Default	Comment
cableLength	-	total length of the cable [m]
numElements	-	number of rigid elements in the cable [#]
diameter	-	diameter of the cable. [m]
cableWeight	-	weight of the cable [kg/m]
E-modulus	-	Young's modulus for cable material [Pa] (used as given in the compliance formulas of the class description)
G-modulus	\(\frac{E-modulus}{2.6}\)	shear modulus for cable material [Pa]
damping	1	structural damping in the cable [-]
updateFreq	-	parameter which preserves simulation stability [-]
stabilityFactor	-	parameter which preserves simulation stability [-]

Input ports

Tag	Size	Comment
PositionA	3	position of end-connection point A
PositionB	3	position of end-connection point B
VelocityA	3	velocity of end-connection point A
VelocityB	3	velocity of end-connection point B
RetractedLengthA	1	length of cable retracted on side A
RetractedLengthB	1	length of cable retracted on side B
RetractedSpeedA	1	retraction rate of cable retracted on side A
RetractedSpeedB	1	retraction rate of cable retracted on side B

Output ports

Tag	Size	Comment
ForceA	3	Reaction force on side A
ForceB	3	Reaction force on side B

States

Tag	Size	Comment
pos<i>	3	Position (x,y,z) of element with index <i>
vel<i>	3	Velocity of element with index <i>
theta<i>	4	Quaternion of element with index <i>
omega<i>	3	Angular derivatives of element (?) <i>

Note

The hydrodynamic load model does not currently support the effect of added mass (MARE-0314). Above the seabed each element's load is that of water for its wet fraction f against the wave surface (a cylinder between its ends, gated by MaxWaveElevation) and that of air for 1 - f, and in waves it takes the Froude-Krylov force rho f V a_n normal to its axis (owner ruling R104, CableRMWaterLoad.h). It was all water or all air by its centre's side of the surface.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

CableRM()

RbCable::CableRM::CableRM	(	const std::string &	simObjectName,
		ISimObjectCreator *const	creator
	)

The constructor performs all initial setup for a cable simobject. Reading in parameters, setting up communication interface i.e. output ports, input ports, and states, plus additional 'one time only' resource setup.

Parameters

[in]	simObjectName	-> The name of the simobject
[in]	creator	-> Retrieve parameters. Register states, ports and shared resources reads parameters, registers states, output and intput ports.

Member Function Documentation

calculations()

void RbCable::CableRM::calculations	(	const double	T,

Parameters

[in]	T	-> Current simulation time
[in]	X	-> Current simulation state

forceA()

const double * RbCable::CableRM::forceA	(	const double	T,
		const double *const	X
	)

See PortDefs.h

Parameters

[in]	T	-> Current simulation time
[in]	X	-> Current simulation state

Returns

-> Address of current force in endpoint A of cable

forceB()

const double * RbCable::CableRM::forceB	(	const double	T,
		const double *const	X
	)

See PortDefs.h

Parameters

[in]	T	-> Current simulation time
[in]	X	-> Current simulation state

Returns

-> Address of current force in endpoint B of cable

OdeFcn()

void RbCable::CableRM::OdeFcn	(	const double	T,
		const double *const	X,
		double *const	XDot
	)		const

Returns state derivatives.

Parameters

[in]	T	-> Current simulation time
[in]	X	-> Current simulation state
[out]	XDot	-> State derivatives
