The program, source code, and examples included with this readme file pertain to "MoorDyn C", the version of MoorDyn written in C++, licensed under the GPL, and designed for coupling with a wide variety of tools. The latest information about MoorDyn C can be found at the web page www.matt-hall.ca/moordyn.
This version of MoorDyn has been coupled to provide mooring dynamics for the wave energy converter simulator WEC-Sim. For more information, see http://wec-sim.github.io/WEC-Sim/
For information about MoorDyn F, the FORTRAN-based version that is part of FASTv8, see nwtc.nrel.gov/MoorDyn
The Examples folder contains minimal examples in Matlab and
Simulink showing how these can be coupled with MoorDyn.
They also include an example MoorDyn input file for the
OC3-Hywind mooring system.
The DLL folders contain the compiled MoorDyn libraries for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows programs. The appropriate DLL will need to be copied into the example folders for them to work.
