Dear everyone,
Regarding the last time I asked a question on the forum about the use of moordynV2 I now have some new questions.
MoorDyn Waves and Currents input file
...any notes here...
--------------------------- WAVES -------------------------------------
3 WaveKinMod - type of wave input {0 no waves; 3 set up grid of wave data based on time series}
"waveelev.dat" WaveKinFile - file containing wave elevation time series at 0,0,0
0.1 dtWave - time step to use in setting up wave kinematics grid (s)
0 WaveDir - wave heading (deg)
1 - X wave input type (0: not used; 1: list values in ascending order; 2: uniform specified by -xlim, xlim, num)

First is the WaveKinFile file, I am using the openfast output Wave1Elev, I think this also meets the requirements “file containing wave elevation time series at 0,0,0”, I would like to ask so that I would like to ask if this meets the requirement.
The second point is about the grid, the figure below is the top view of a 15MW mooring system.
The grid in x-direction is defined from -850m to 430m with a total of 501 points, y-direction is defined from -750m to 750m with a total of 501 points, and z-direction is defined from -200m to 15m with a total of 215 points, which is able to cover the whole mooring system, is it ok to do so?
Lastly, I am comparing the fairlead tension comparison chart of whether or not to consider WaterKin for an extreme sea state, does the trend fit the general pattern?
Best regards,
