QBlade now supports nonlinear mooring line dynamics for synthetic ropes like polyester and nylon. Users can now define the nonlinear tension-strain relationship using a data table, enabling highly accurate modeling of synthetic mooring lines. This feature enhances the precision of mooring system simulations, capturing the true behavior of materials under load.

The next release will introduce boundary conditions for mooring line connections, constraining both position and orientation of cables. This ensures accurate simulation of strain and bending moments at connection points, which is especially critical for power cable modeling in offshore applications.

These updates significantly improve QBlade’s ability to simulate complex mooring and cable layouts with greater accuracy and detail.
