This is useful if your computer is prone to failure (for example because of overnight power failures) since the part-run simulation file can be loaded and continued, rather than having to re-run the whole simulation from scratch. OrcaFlex can auto-save partially-completed dynamic simulations at regular intervals during the batch job. If you do, Windows will try to use the copy of Excel already in use by OrcaFlex, resulting in unpredictable failures. Do not double-click on an Excel file to open it while OrcaFlex is processing spreadsheets from a batch. If you wish to use Excel while OrcaFlex is processing spreadsheets within a batch you must open Excel directly, and then open the file you wish to work on. If the file names use relative paths, then they are taken to be relative to the directory containing the. The text file must comprise one file name per line. lst extension, containing a list of files to be added. These files are processed in an external process by the system command interpreter, usually this is cmd.exe. These files are processed by an external Python process, so you may need to modify the PATH environment variable in order for the Python executable to be found. If it is not checked, then each instructions sheet will be broken down into multiple load cases which are individually added to the batch and may be processed simultaneously. Note that if the spreadsheet option contains dependencies is checked then the workbook will be processes as a single job using a single thread. OrcaFlex will process all post-processing sheets in the Excel workbook. In addition the results tables are saved to an.

OrcaFlex performs the fatigue analysis and saves the results to a binary. The most common use of script files is to perform a series of systematic variations on a base data file. OrcaFlex opens the script file and obeys the commands in turn. These are text files which contain OrcaFlex script commands. OrcaFlex opens the simulation file, finishes the dynamic simulation and then saves the completed simulation, overwriting the original file. Partially-run OrcaFlex simulation files (.sim).OrcaFlex opens the data file, performs the static analysis, runs the dynamic simulation and then saves the results in a simulation file with the same name as the data file, but with a. Dynamic analysis of pre-prepared OrcaFlex data files (.dat or.OrcaFlex opens the data file, performs the static analysis and then saves the results in a simulation file with the same name as the data file, but with a.

Static analysis of pre-prepared OrcaFlex data files (.dat or.

The list can include any number and mixture of the following types of job: This command opens a form that allows you to set up a list of jobs that are to be run. Simulations, script files, post-processing spreadsheets and fatigue analyses can all be run in unattended mode, by using the Calculation | Batch processing menu item.
