5 stars

Best use case

orcaflex-environment-config is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.

Configure OrcaFlex environmental conditions including wave spectra (JONSWAP, Dean Stream), current profiles, wind loading, and seabed properties for offshore analysis.

Teams using orcaflex-environment-config should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.

When to use this skill

  • You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.

When not to use this skill

  • You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
  • You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# Orcaflex Environment Config

## When to Use

- Setting up wave conditions for simulations
- Configuring depth-varying current profiles
- Adding wind loads to vessel/structure analysis
- Defining seabed properties for touchdown regions
- Creating consistent environmental load cases
- Multi-directional wave/current combinations

## Python API

### Basic Environment Setup

```python
from digitalmodel.solvers.fea_model.environment_components import Environment

def setup_environment(config: dict) -> dict:
    """
    Configure OrcaFlex environment from config.

    Args:
        config: Environment configuration dictionary


*See sub-skills for full details.*
### Direct OrcFxAPI Configuration

```python
import OrcFxAPI

def configure_orcaflex_environment(
    model: OrcFxAPI.Model,
    config: dict
) -> OrcFxAPI.OrcaFlexObject:
    """
    Configure environment directly in OrcFxAPI.


*See sub-skills for full details.*
### Current Profile Configuration

```python
import OrcFxAPI

def set_current_profile(
    model: OrcFxAPI.Model,
    surface_speed: float,
    direction: float,
    depth_factors: list
) -> None:
    """

*See sub-skills for full details.*
### Wind Configuration

```python
import OrcFxAPI

def configure_wind(
    model: OrcFxAPI.Model,
    speed: float,
    direction: float,
    reference_height: float = 10.0,
    apply_to_vessels: bool = True,
    apply_to_lines: bool = False,

*See sub-skills for full details.*
### JONSWAP Gamma Calculation

```python
import math

def calculate_jonswap_gamma(Hs: float, Tp: float) -> float:
    """
    Calculate JONSWAP gamma from Hs and Tp.

    Uses DNV-RP-C205 relationship.

    Args:

*See sub-skills for full details.*
### Multi-Directional Waves

```python
import OrcFxAPI

def configure_multi_directional_waves(
    model: OrcFxAPI.Model,
    wave_components: list
) -> None:
    """
    Configure multi-directional wave system.


*See sub-skills for full details.*
