break load
Hi all,
- For the TLP structure, how to set the break load in the code?
- How does the simulation show structural failure or mooring line breakage?
Best regards,
Du Jinhan
Hello Jihan,
its not possible to directly model the failure of a structural part. The constitutive model in QBlade only consideres elastic deformation, but no material yield.
However, you can simulate the failure of a morring (or tension) line at a specific point in time. Check out the Turbine Events and Operation section in the documentation.

Hi
I am a new user of Qblade. I found it so amazing.

I want to work on the failure of mooring lines. Unfortunately, I can’t find where to enter the mooring line failure data. Please guide me.
30 FAILCABLE_1
Hi,
you can add a .txt file containing one, or multiple, turbine “Event Definitions” in the Turbine Behavior section, see the attached screenshot.

Hi David
For consideration of mooring line failure at 30s, do we need a specific template of the file to upload, or just normally type the 30 FAILCABLE_1 in .txt file and upload ?
Hi,
you can define these events in a simple .txt file.
Multiple events, one event per line, are also possible per file.
BR,
David
