Dear Dr. Jason,
If I want to use Ansys-AQWA to get the hydrodynamic parameter of OC4 semi-submersible type, which parameter can I compare with WAMIT output from your NREL technical report?
Best Wishes

Dear Jason,
You can compare the frequency-dependent added mass matrix, damping matrix, and wave-excitation loads, as well as the hydrostatic restoring matrix. NREL generated these for the OC4-DeepCwind semisubmersible using WAMIT. You can also compare the 2nd-order quadratic transfer functions.
Best regards,
