Q: Can MOSES compute wave induced shear force and wave induced bending moment on a ship in the frequency domain?
REV 5.07

A: Yes, but perhaps not in the way you think. Other programs that deal with only monohull ship structures may provide this in their frequency domain post processors. Since a hull girder is statically determinant, this is relatively straight forward. However, for other vessel types, such as semisubmersibles or TLPs, this is not so easy. Since MOSES is a very general program, the way to include frequency domain wave loads in longitudinal strength is perform a proper structural analysis. The hull girder can be modeled as a single beam along the centerline, and the structural post processor provides the loads in the beam. Start with the sample JT_FREQ. (For details, click here)
