Rectangular update

Open dzalkind opened this issue 2 months ago • 1 comments

This PR collects a lot of the open-source developments required for the EAB case studies, including:

  • Modeling rectangular members in HydroDyn and SubDyn
  • A new hybrid potential_model_override method using potential model for only radiation and excitation (not bouyancy)
  • New load cases (force-displacement, free decay, user-defined wind)
  • Improved DLC 1.2 support, using probability clusters

Things left TODO:

  • [x] Elevate potential_model_override option above RAFT as it affects both RAFT and OpenFAST
  • [x] Add various flavors of VolturnUS modeling (rectangular, SubDyn, hybrid)
  • [x] Add fatigue example
  • [x] Organize pre-processing notebooks (fatigue, orcaflex translator)
  • [x] Test all new DLC cases
  • [x] Fix SubDyn generation, ElastoDyn mass needs to be zeroed
  • [x] Check heave of models
  • [ ] Check WEIS-generated models against develop branch

Purpose

This PR updates WEIS to generate HydroDyn and SubDyn files for rectangular members. The SubDyn update also applies to circular members.
