Printer Friendly Post-Processing Trajectories Post-Processing Trajectories

When one is post-processing a time domain simulation, the commands available depend upon the model during the simulation. The one command, however, which is always valid is the TRAJECTORY command. This command instructs MOSES to compute the location, velocity, acceleration, bottom clearance, and displacement for each selected body and to place the user in the Disposition Menu. The form of this command is:


     TRAJECTORY, -OPTIONS

The available options are:


     -EVENTS, EVE_BEGIN, EVE_END, EVE_INC

     -CG

     -LOCAL, YES/NO

Here, EVE_BEGIN and EVE_END are the beginning and ending event numbers for which the results will be computed, and EVE_INC is an event increment. Normally, the location, velocity, and acceleration are computed for the body origin. If one uses the -CG option, then the results will be computed for the body CG instead. The final option is -LOCAL. If YES/NO is NO, MOSES will compute the velocity and acceleration in global coordinates instead of local body ones. The opposite is true if YES/NO is YES. The corresponding form of the REPORT command is:

     REPORT, NAME, -OPTIONS

Here, NAME is a selector which selects the available REPORTs: LOCATION, VELOCITY, and ACCELERATION.

The only option available for reporting is:


     -EVENTS, EVE_BEGIN, EVE_END, EVE_INC
