The help browser is installed alongside OrcaFlex it can also be downloaded from or the help topics can be viewed on-line If you are new to OrcaFlex then our introduction videos are a useful resource. It is a 2-node hybrid beam element to handle very slender situations in three dimensions space. The B31H element type in Abaqus is adopted in the analysis. The finite element model is also used widely in mooring analysis. It also contains the only published source of the theory behind OrcaFlex, augmented by a handful of technical notes at This documentation is available in the form of a dedicated OrcaFlex help browser, which presents context-sensitive help from within the program when F1 is pressed. In the latest OrcaFlex (Orcina Ltd, 2023), the compression can be optionally treated in the line model. This documentation explains how to build a model, run the program and extract results. More introductory information can be found at including: OrcaFlex performs global static and dynamic analysis of a wide range of offshore systems, typically including boundary conditions such as vessels, buoys, etc., as well as finite element modelling of line structures. Welcome to the documentation for OrcaFlex ( version 11.4b).
