OrcaWave provides important facilities for automating and post-processing work:
- The batch processing facility enables you to run a set of calculations in unattended mode, for example as an overnight job.
- OrcaFlex includes a well-documented programming interface called OrcFxAPI (short for OrcaFlex Application Program Interface) which can also interface with OrcaWave; see the OrcFxAPI help for details. OrcFxAPI is a Windows dynamic link library (DLL) that provides facilities for programatically setting data, performing calculations and extracting results. The easiest way to drive OrcaWave through OrcFxAPI is using our interfaces to MATLAB and the Python scripting language – both are included in the OrcaWave installation. Other examples of using OrcFxAPI include linking to other modelling software. For further information or to discuss possible applications of OrcFxAPI, please contact Orcina.
