This example directory contains instructions for common uses of MoorDyn, including OpenFAST, WEC-Sim, and running standalone.

Before working with these examples, please look at the MoorDyn documentation for an explanation of the code and the different versions (MoorDyn-C and MoorDyn-F). After that, start out with working through the jupyter notebook (MoorDyn_standalone_demo.ipynb). This will walk through basic examples for running MoorDyn and visualizing outputs. Visualization is done with MoorPy, however Paraview can also be used as well as the tool PyDatView.

Much of this directory was presented during Software Demo Days. A link to that presentation can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqW7Xpl_VNk

Further examples are the following:

• MHK_RM1_Floating: This directory shows how to run MoorDyn-F with OpenFAST.
• MoorDynF_example: This directory shows how to use the MoorDyn-F driver from OpenFAST.
• simpledemo.py: This is the simplest example of how to run MoorDyn-C with a python script.
• Running MoorDyn-F (OpenFAST).pdf: This is a step-by-step list of instructions for running MoorDyn-F with OpenFAST.
• Running WECSim with MoorDyn.pdf: This is a step-by-step list of instructions for running MoorDyn-C with WECSim.
