Figure 5.48 An example of a 2D map of wave disturbance coefficients
Type of scaling
You must specify whether the scaling of the coefficients should be relative to
a user defined incoming wave height or relative to the wave height in a spe-
cific grid point. In the first case you must provide the incoming significant
wave height, and in the second case the grid coordinates for the grid point.
Calculation period
The first and last time steps, for which the calculation should be performed.
You must also specify the interval (in number of time steps), for which the 2D
map is updated. A typical value is 1-2 minutes.
Area statistics
When “wave dist. coeff.” is set in your dialog settings you can include addi-
tional statistics for the areas defined in a so-called Area code map file. This
Grid data file includes different integer values (larger than zero) for different
areas where statistics of wave disturbance coefficient is required. The statis-
tics covers following parameters:

Maximum

Minimum

Mean

Standard deviation

Number of data for each defined area
The output is saved in an ASCII text file and can be viewed by common text
editor. An example of output is shown in Figure 5.49.
