mooringDesignSimulator-v2 - PDF report
Expected content of the PDF report generated by mooringDesignSimulator v2.
Report objective
The PDF report is an operational deliverable. It must be usable by the technical teams responsible for preparing, manufacturing, assembling, and checking the mooring components before shipping and deployment.
The examples available in Mooring-simulator-v2/examples show several generated cases, including test reports, a luckyscale_2021_dyneema mooring, and a MICROMOORING2021_atalante mooring. They provide practical references to check that the report remains readable, complete, and usable outside the application.
Expected content
The report must gather the essential results of the static simulation:
- a mooring figure, using a multi-column layout when the line is long
- the four main charts: mooring profile, backup profile, launch tension, and launch speed
- a deployment summary with safe anchor, theoretical anchor limit, selected anchor, maximum launch tension, and terminal speed when available
- a recovery summary when the mooring includes a release: head arrival time, average ascent speed, estimated drift, and arrival time of the last recoverable float
- a detailed segment table with static length, depth, tension, angle, offsets, buoyancy, weight, launch tension, and stretched length
- an inventory of required components and lengths
- a rope marking table, useful for locating the clamped components along the line when marking data is available
Short description of the results
The mooring figure gives a quick view of the component stack and assembly order. It is useful for checking line consistency before fabrication.
The profile and launch charts describe the computed behavior of the mooring: line position under current, recoverable branch after release, tension evolution, and estimated speed during deployment.
The tables provide the information directly usable by technical teams: dimensions, loads, weights, buoyancy, stretch, preparation inventory, and marks to transfer onto the ropes so that clamped components can be positioned correctly.
Points of attention
The report summarizes a static simulation. It does not replace full mechanical validation or preparation checks before shipment. Values must be reviewed together with the current, depth, apparent weight, and buoyancy assumptions used in the project.
