  • You just created an input file for gravity analysis in the pre-processing run. Perform gravity analysis, by typing gdap at Bash prompt and following GDAP instructions on screen.
  • Create input files for water, temperature, and time-history analyses. Refer to GDAP user's manual for specific data needed for each type of analysis. Name input files for water, temperature, and time-history loads water.in, temper.in, and th.in.
  • Complete static analyses by running GDAP with water.in and temper.in as the input files. Also run GEDIT utility to manipulate the project data, if necessary. Just type gedit and follow the prompt. You will see somethig like this.
  • Generate a fluid finite-element model for computation of the added hydrodynamic mass matrix for time-history analysis. To do this, run GEDIT and select Save As GDAP model. Enter 5 for water layers and then exit GEDIT. Issue a command dir to see what you have created. You may delete gdap_1.in, gadp_2.in, gdap_3.in and gdap_4.in files, since they are the recreation of  pre.in, gravity.in, water.in and temperature.in. These files can be removed by rm command in Bash shell (just type rm gdap_1.in for every file). Remember rm command deletes files completely and they cannot be undeleted later. Keep incres.in file, because it contains the complete finite-element model of the impounded water. Now run gres to compute the added hydrodynamic mass matrix, which will be stored on tape12.dat for the subsequent time hsitory analysis.
  • Run gdap with th.in as the input to perform the time-history response analysis
