− directions are counterclockwise relative to the positive x−axis of the
frame coordinate system if Cartesian direction convention is used (see
command SET)
− directions are relative to North (clockwise) if Nautical direction
convention is used (see command SET)
Examples:
QUANTITY Xp hexp=100.
for simulations of lab. experiments
QUANTITY HS TM01 RTMM10 excv=-9. to change the exception value for H s ,
T m01 and relative T m−10
QUANTITY HS TM02 FSPR fmin=0.03 fmax=0.5 to compute H s , T m02 and frequency
spreading by means of integration over
f ∈ [0.03, 0.5]
QUANTITY Hswell fswell=0.08
to change the value of [fswell]
QUANTITY Per short=’Tm-1,0’ power=0. to redefine average wave period
QUANTITY Transp Force Frame
to obtain vector components and
direction with respect to the frame
OUTPut OPTIons ’comment’ (TABle [field]) (BLOck [ndec] [len]) (SPEC [ndec])
This command enables the user to influence the format of block, table and spectral output.
comment a comment character; is used in comment lines in the output
Default: comment = %
field length of one data field in a table. Minimum is 8 and maximum is 16.
ndec
Default: field = 12
number of decimals in block (if appearing after keyword BLOCK) or
2D spectral output (if appearing after keyword SPEC). Maximum is 9.
Default: ndec = 4 (in both block and spectral outputs)
len number of data on one line of block output. Maximum is 9999.
Default: len = 6
