SEAKEEPING is based upon a linear, six-degree-of-freedom, frequency-domain strip theory code developed entirely in-house by Creative Systems. The command will output absolute and relative displacements, velocities, accelerations, and RAOs at the vessel center of gravity or at any indicated critical point. For irregular waves (defined using an extension to the WAVE command), SEAKEEPING will also output response statistics.
SEAKEEPING is fully integrated with GHS, which means much of the input required by other seakeeping codes is accessed "behind-the-scenes" by SEAKEEPING to keep user input to a minimum. This provides unmatched ease of use for incredibly quick motions calculations. The command operates on the current loading condition, so it is very easy to add SEAKEEPING to existing run files.
