Subject: marine structure
Author: Ramon Rodicio Rodriguez rodicio@

I'm a student from the Vigo University,Spain, getting started with Ansys

I'm using Ansys to simulate the behaviour of a floating marine structure
but I don't know how to simulate the action of the ocean waves upon the
structure.

The structure, more or less, is like a rectangule floating. The efects of
ocean vawes are like vertical forces upon the nodes, but these forces vary
like sines, can I define a force following a trigonometric function with
Ansys?

Sorry about my poor English, I will appreciate any help.
