Deterministic Wave/Transfer Function Generation does not generate any charts or plots


Product(s):SACS
Version(s):All
Area:Dynamic Response

Community Question:

The Function Generation completes, but both the chart and the plot files are empty.

I have used this info in my seastate file for fatigue case:

Any ideas of why I have empty files?

Answer:

During a dynamic Deterministic Wave/ Transfer Function is important to set correctly the water-deep and Mudline Elevation, remember that the water-deep is negative and the Mudline Elevation positive, if you forgue some of these rules and set both values + or -, the charts in the solution will be empty due to the Software can't difference one form the each other.
