SMP Input Record Overview
This section gives further information on the data that is entered in the Regular Wave
input file. In VisualSMP, this data is entered through dialogs as described in Section 4. However,
the ASCII file may be edited by hand (carefully), with data described here.
The input to be developed for the regular wave module consists of hull form data, loading
data, and appendage data. The data is made up of data record sets. The number of data record
sets required for the regular wave module is 19; however, the number of records within each set
will vary according to the individual ship particulars and user requirements. Table 4.1
summarizes the 19 data record sets.
