WAMIT®
is the
most advanced set of tools available for analyzing wave interactions with
offshore platforms and other structures or vessels. Since the announcement of
Version 1 in 1987 at MIT, WAMIT has gained widespread recognition
for its ability to analyze complex structures with a high degree of accuracy
and efficiency. Over the subsequent years WAMIT has been licensed to
more than 90 industrial and research organizations worldwide.
WAMIT Version 6.3 is
the latest in a progression of more powerful and versatile programs. Version 6,
which has been available since 2000, represents a quantum jump in the capabilities
of WAMIT, including a higher-order method of solution and various options
for defining the geometry. Version 6.1 and Version 6.1S have been available since 2002. Version 6.1 has an option to link WAMIT with the Relational Geometry Kernel of the CAD program MultiSurf
facilitating a seamless transition from design to hydrodynamic analysis.
Version 6.1S, has the additional capability of complete second-order nonlinear
analysis in bichromatic and bidirectional waves. Version 6.2, released in 2004,
has the capability to analyse internal tanks with free surfaces coupled with the dynamics of vessels.
