Hi @Mohamad-Namaki The mismatch between the .stl and the mesh file used to generate the hydrodynamic forces will not have an effect on WEC-Sim solution. The stl file in WEC-Sim...

@Mohamad-Namaki 1. No, the STL and the BEM geometry files do not have to match. However, when using STL files for the non-linear hydro calculations, please keep in mind the...

Hi @Mohamad-Namaki Here are the answers to your questions: 1. > Can I modify the body(i).centerGravity, body(i).mass, and body(i).inertia values for each body in the wecSimInputFile.m so that they are...

@Mohamad-Namaki You’ve raised some excellent points! Here are the answers to your questions: 1. **List of Bodies** > ... As shown in the message and screenshot I previously shared, the...

@Mohamad-Namaki 1. > ... I’m uncertain whether the inputs should be provided in radians or degrees. Consequently, I’m unsure of the correct unit for input damping in angular PTOs —...

The pto(i).equilibriumPosition defines the PTO's equilibrium orientation, while pto(i).initial sets its initial orientation. Both parameters can be adjusted to achieve the desired steady-state response, depending on user requirements. I submitted...

@Mohamad-Namaki This might be the reason why WEC-Sim did not allow users to modify the c.g in the `wecSimInputFile.m`. It will confuse the users rather than help them. [With great...

Hi @Mohamad-Namaki @jtgrasb provided a thorough response to your comment, but I wanted to add that we would love to collaborate with you on adding AQWA QTFs to WEC-Sim. This...

Hi @ Mohamad-Namaki Does both model behave similarly when you try the decay tests? If they do not behave similarly in a simple decay test then the models setup are...

@Mohamad-Namaki Thanks for being open to support WEC-Sim development efforts. You can contact our team via the email in [this link](https://research-hub.nrel.gov/en/persons/mohamed-shabara). This thread is now long and has multiple topics...
