User Interface, Menus
3.5.7 Graph Menu
Use Default Ranges
Sets the graph axes to their original ranges
Values
Displays a spreadsheet containing the numerical values on which the graph is based.
Spectral Density (only available for time history graphs)
Opens a new spectral density graph.
Empirical Cumulative Distribution (only available for time history graphs)
Opens a new empirical cumulative distribution graph.
Rainflow half-cycle Empirical Cumulative Distribution (only available for time history graphs)
Opens a new rainflow half-cycle empirical cumulative distribution graph.
Properties
Opens the graph properties form (which can also be opened by double clicking the graph).
3.5.8 Results Menu
Select Results
50
w
Display the results form which allows you to choose from the currently available selection of graphs and results
tables. Graphs such as Time Histories, XY Graphs and Range Graphs may be created before a simulation has been
run, thus allowing you to watch the variables during a simulation.
Fatigue Analysis
Opens the Fatigue Analysis form.
Modal Analysis
Opens the Modal Analysis form.
Report Vessel Response
Opens the Vessel Response form.
3.5.9 Tools Menu
Lock / Unlock Selected Object
Locking an object prevents it from being accidentally dragged or connected using the mouse on 3D views, for
example if you nudge the mouse slightly while trying to DOUBLE CLICK. Lock / Unlock Selected Object toggles the lock
on the currently selected object. If the lock is on, it will be switched off. If the lock is off, then it will be switched on.
Locked Objects may still have their positions edited in the data Edit Forms. The status of the object locks is shown
by symbols in the Model Browser.
Lock / Unlock All Objects
Locks or unlocks all objects in the model.
Set Thread Count
Allows you to change the number of execution threads used by OrcaFlex for parallel processing.
Calculate Speed Index
The Speed Index is an approximate measure of how quickly a machine can perform OrcaFlex simulations. Larger
values correspond to faster machines. The Speed Index is also reported by Distributed OrcaFlex.
The Speed Index is calculated by performing a series of floating point calculations that are representative of the
calculations performed by OrcaFlex itself. The value reported is meant only to give an estimate of the relative
performance of similar machines. It is always preferable, if possible, to compare actual OrcaFlex simulation run
times for models representative of your typical use.
