The table on this page will contain one row for each structure/body in the import file. One difference is in the naming of the data sources: AQWA refers to structures and WAMIT to bodies OrcaWave has bodies that are named by the user. The sources & destinations page has mostly the same form for OrcaWave, AQWA and WAMIT files, with a few small differences. Importing data from OrcaWave, AQWA and WAMIT You should take careful note of these, since they will have an impact on how the imported data have been interpreted by OrcaFlex. Any OrcaFlex data for which there are no corresponding data in the imported file will not be changed.ДЇollowing the import, a messages page will be created, which will indicate whether or not the import was successful (if not, the original vessel type data will be retained) and will list any errors or warnings raised during the process. The remaining OrcaFlex vessel type data are not typically calculated by diffraction programs, so will need to be obtained from another source. The imported data are converted to match the prevailing vessel type conventions (but see QTF data source conventions below) and scaled to match the units of the OrcaFlex model. Having chosen your destination vessel types/draughts, checked or set up origins, and selected the data types you wish to import, click on the import button to begin the actual import procedure.

By default, all data types which are present in the file and eligible for import are selected for import at this point: simply deselect any which you do not wish to import.

You will then see the import vessel data form, which is where you can choose the destination vessel types and draughts for the data to be imported and check or set reference origins (see below for OrcaWave/AQWA/WAMIT and for generic text files), and select which data you wish to import from the file:Дata types in this list which are disabled (greyed out) are so because either they are not present in the file or their import from this type of file has not been implemented in OrcaFlex (or both).

When you do so, OrcaFlex will open the file and analyse its content to determine: what type of file it is (OrcaWave, AQWA, WAMIT, or generic), what bodies/structures it has data for, and what data it contains which OrcaFlex is capable of importing (any or all of: symmetry, displacement RAOs, load RAOs, QTFs, added mass and damping, hydrostatic stiffness, structure, other damping, sea state RAOs, drawing). In all cases, pressing the import button prompts you to select a file for import. Some packages (notably Hydrostar and WADAM) can also report their results in WAMIT format, in which case they can be imported easily and directly by OrcaFlex without the requirement for markup text. OrcaFlex can also import data from MOSES, Hydrostar/ARIANE and WADAM output files, as well as others, after the addition of some markup text. OrcaFlex can import directly data which have been output by OrcaWave, AQWA and WAMIT. The import button on the vessel types form enables the import of data, in the form of results from common ship response calculation packages, into OrcaFlex.
