When enabled, only faces towards the viewer are drawn. obj) option enables an optimisation that may provide a useful performance benefit. Examples of this can be found in the sample shaded drawings provided by Orcina. If these coordinates use a different length unit from your OrcaFlex model, then you should define them in an auxiliary file called AdditionalInformation.txt. If you use a value of '~' for draw size, then OrcaFlex uses the coordinates in the drawing file directly, taking them to be in the prevailing OrcaFlex units. Set draw size to '~' to display the drawing using the absolute coordinates as specified in the drawing file. The longest side is the length of the longest side of this cuboid. This longest side is calculated by fitting the smallest possible cuboid around the vertices of the shaded drawing, aligned with the shaded drawing's local axes. All directions are scaled equally such that the longest side in the drawing is drawn to the given draw size. The browse button allows you to access the shaded drawing file quickly and also gives you a navigate to Orcina sample drawings button, which provides quick access to the Orcina sample drawings installed with OrcaFlex.ĭraw size (.x. If you use a relative path then the path will be taken as relative to the folder containing the OrcaFlex file. This can be one of the following formats: The hub is drawn as a circular cylinder, the blade segments as elliptic cylinders.Īlternatively the object can be represented by an imported 3D model by specifying the shaded drawing file. Shaded drawingīy default, for shaded 3D views, turbines are drawn as solid objects based on their hub radius and blade geometry. Draw tower, tower penĭetermine whether or not the tower is drawn, and specify the pen that is used to draw it.

The drawing, or not, of the node axes themselves is controlled by the node axes preference. This can help you to identify the $x$ and $y$ directions in particular, and may be useful in interpreting the results for different component directions. Node axes coloursīlade node structural frame axes $(x, y, z)$ can be drawn in different colours. Draw blades, blade penĭetermine whether or not the blades are drawn, and specify their pen.

These data determine whether or not the hub is drawn, and specify the pen that is used to draw it.
