WEC-Sim-Python

WEC-Sim-Python is the Python version of the WEC-Sim (Wave Energy Converter SIMulator), which was originally developed in MATLAB/SIMULINK.

Goal of WEC-Sim-Python

WEC-Sim-Python aims to help researchers, start-up companies, and enthusiasts without access to MATLAB in order to use the open-source code provided by NREL and Sandia lab. Also, with growing research in the field of machine learning, WEC-Sim-Python could be more convenient for those who develop machine learning projects utilizing Python.

Build Status

Note: WEC-Sim-Python has not been completed. Estimated date of completion: August, 2022

Currently supports

• Simulation class: getWecSimPythonVer will be tested upon pre-release
• Wave class
• Body class

Future update

• Other source class and BEMIO
• Open AI Gym for simulation

Major changes from original WEC-Sim

1. Do not support Simulink.
2. A seperate Paraview class is incorporated in the objects directory.
3. Modified some methods and file structures for faster computation, and the original method has been tested and incorporated in the comment.

Procedure

To be updated upon the completion.

Note

1. Due to the difference in the significant digits or methods of the calculations, all variables have been tested up to 10^-7 decimal places.
