What will you learn?

ANSYS AQWA Workbench GUI

The course will cover the general use of features within the AQWA Suite and introduces the new Workbench version of AQWA. An introduction to the expanded Cable Dynamics capabilities will also be included. The latter is licensed as an additional module and permits coupled cable dynamics associated with deeper waters to be addressed.

The three day course will be of major benefit to all engineers intending to perform hydrodynamic analysis of offshore structures using AQWA. No previous AQWA exposure is required but some knowledge of naval architecture or offshore engineering is desirable.
