Definition of Phase
The motions are defined in the following way:
The calclated si! ship motions are defined "y three translations of the motion reference point #in the pictre a"ove chosen as center of gravity$ in the !% y and
& a!is and three rotations a"ot them:
'n which the s"script (a( denotes the response amplitde and epsilon denotes the phase shift) The phase shifts of these motions are related to the harmonic
wave elevation at the motion reference point:
The phase shift of the roll motion with respect to the wave elevation% in the figre a"ove is positive% "ecase when the wave elevation passes &ero at a certain
instant% the roll motion already has passed &ero) Ths% if the motion comes "efore the wave elevation% then the phase shift is defined as positive)
Definition of Spectra and Spreading
Different spectra are availa"le to define a sea state% the following can "e sed:
*retschneider #e+als Pierson,Mos-owit&$% which gives a an average wave spectrm% fre+ently sed in open sea areas
.onswap% which is a narrow wave spectrm% fre+ently sed in /orth Sea areas) .onswap has an e!tra parameter% gamma% which defines the steepness of
the spectrm) This parameter is not sed in the definition of the /emann and *retschneider spectra) When gamma is selected as vale 0% it gives the
same spectrm as the Pierson,Mos-owit& spectrm
/emann% this gives a somewhat wide wave spectrm% which is sometimes sed for open sea areas
1 comparison of the /emann% the *retschneider and the mean .O/SW1P wave spectra is given here for a sea state with a significant wave height of 2
meters and an average wave period of 3 seconds)

analyses) The reslts of sch an analysis are primarily re+ired dring the transport preparation phase% from +otation to the design and engineering of the
stowage plan% cri""ing and sea fastenings)
Traditionally% marine transports are engineered to satisfy design criteria in terms of allowa"le wave heights) The =1llowa"le wave height= can "e calclated as
the =1llowa"le response level= divided "y the =?esponse level per nit wave height=) 't follows that different responses may reslt in different allowa"le wave
heights% depending on the allowa"le response level)
't is o"vios that the allowa"le wave height also depends on the other wave parameters% li-e the wave period% spectrm shape and spreading)
Operational parameters li-e the vessel heading and vessel speed may have a large effect on the response level in a certain sea state% and ths on the allowa"le
wave height) The same applies for the vessel=s voyage plan) That=s why weather roting is commonly applied) 'n general favora"le wave headings for roll are
nfavora"le headings for pitch and the related accelerations) Detailed -nowledge a"ot the vessel=s sea-eeping "ehavior ma-es it possi"le to do more
advanced weather roting% namely "y evalating and optimi&ing for ship responses in the forecasted weather #@waves$)
'n fact we are not tal-ing a"ot one allowa"le wave height% "t a"ot many allowa"le response levels) Each allowa"le response level implies a related
allowa"le wave height% which again may depend on wave heading etc) This reslts in a (minimm allowa"le wave height() 1 "alanced design of for e!ample
sea fastenings shold therefore "e "ased on the calclation of the e!pected levels of the relevant responses in the most li-ely wave environment)
The analysis se+ence as applied in Octops Office is shown in >igre 0) The o"tained design vales may serve as the criteria which shold not "e e!ceeded
dring the transport or operation) The calclated models and design vales can "e sed in Octops On"oardgive on"oard operational spport sing the same
methods and reslts as sed in design vale calclation procedre)

Introduction Working with R!"s
R! is an abreviation o# "Response mplitude !perators". $he R! delivers the response motion per unit wave height.
Calculating a R! re%uires a hydrodynamic database. In the Hydrodynamic database dra#t& speed& heading& and #re%uency dependent parameters were stored.
$he R! re%uires that restoring parameters& viscous damping& and a load distribution are known.
creating a Rao con#iguration'R! Responses.
!ctopus !##ice can calculate so(called "primary" or "basic" responses& "user(de#ined" responses& "combined" responses and sectional loads.
$o create a R! con#iguration) Right mouse click in the tree *le#t pane+ at CHDB
$ype a name which is assigned to the R! con#iguration
Basic responses are always re%uired. $he basic responses are motions o# the motion re#erence point *surge& sway& heave& roll& pitch& yaw+
,ectional -oads are the #orces and moments acting on a point in a sectional plane o# the hull.
Relative motions are the relative motions at di##erent positions o# the vessel. $he vertical position o# these points is in the waterline.
ngular responses are absolute velocities and accelerations in "cting .oint" on the ship. ngular responses are derived #rom the primary motion
responses by taking single and double time(derivates.
.oint responses are absolute motions in "cting .oints" on the ship. .oint responses are derived #rom the primary responses. /otions are calculated by
translation& velocities and accelerations are calculated #rom single and double time(derivates.
Combined responses are responses which are a linear combination o# "basic" and'or "user(de#ined" responses. 0sing this #eature you can de#ine any kind
o# response& which can be e1pressed as a linear combination o# other responses. .lease note that all the phase in#ormation is maintained.
$he R!"s #or the basic responses are calculated in relation to the C!2 o# the system.

Configuration of the sectional loads is done by clicking button Sectional Loads. The following dialog appears:
Sectional loads can be calculated in the X-plane, Y-plane and Z-plane. The first coordinate defines the plane, the second and third coordinate specifies a point
on the selected plane.
Configuration of the relatie !otions is done by clicking button Add Relative Motion. The following dialog appears:
"#a!e" : Type the na!e for this response
"$cting point" : %efinition of the &,y,'-coordinates of the point of interest.
To configure angular responses click the button Angular Responses. The following dialog appears:
To add angular responses to the configuration check the desired responses and
to re!oe angular responses fro! the configuration uncheck the unwanted repsonses.
To configure linear responses click the button Add User Response. The following dialog appears:
To configure linear responses select an acting point as reference point for the calculations.
Check the responses of interest or uncheck the unwanted responses.
To cCnfigure co!bined responses click then button Add Combined Response.
The si!plest application of this feature is a co!bined response with only one scaled response co!ponent. This way you can define responses in any unit. (or

Anti Roll Devices
Anti Roll Devices
Anti roll devices deliver a counteracting moment to prevent the ship from rolling. These devices have to be tuned in such a way so they deliver the right
moment at the right time. Antiroll devices can be seperated into two different types! the active and passive anti roll device. "everal e#amples of active anti
roll devices are! stabilising fins$ rudders$ moveable mass$ or a tor%ue machine. &assive anti roll devices are free surface tan's or (shaped anti roll tan's for
instance. "ometimes$ anti roll tan's have a different shape than the )usual) s%uared ones. These free surface tan's should also be inserted as active anti roll
*user defined+ devices.
In case anti roll devices are present on the vessel$ the devices can be managed through the buttons Add Device and Remove Device.
In Office two types of roll devices can be modelled! )Tan' Devices)$ the passive anti roll devices$ that can be modelled acording to the theory by ),an den
Bosch-,ugts) and ),erhagen-,an .i/ngaarden). Tan's that cannot be modelled according to this theory have to be modelled as a user defined antiroll tan's.
The anti roll tan's also influence the mass$ radii of gyration and free surface. In the loading condition file these parameters should be managed manually. The
reason that the mass file is not updated automatically is to due to the many different types of antiroll devices that can be used on ships$ and to avoid confusion
between different methods. 0or the mathematical implementation of anti roll tan's see Octopus Seaway Theory at www.amarcon.com-support clic'
