Method for HAMS application #57

Open IHLEE94 opened 2 weeks ago

IHLEE94 commented 2 weeks ago

I tried to use the hydrodynamic coefficient using HAMS. I think that 'padModMaster' parameter is the selecting option of the hydrodynamic calculation method, Strip or HAMS or another. If my understanding is right, I want to know more exact explanation of each definition values-0, 1, 2 as shown in the below.

potModMaster : 1 # [int] master switch for potMod variables; 0=keeps all member potMod vars the same, 1=turns all potMod vars to False (no HAMS), 2=turns all potMod vars to True (no strip)

What does each value mean?

Each member can have a potMod setting, where False means that it will be modeled using strip theory, and True means it will be meshed and included in a PyHAMS potential flow model. potModMaster overrides the individual member potMod settings as described in the text you quoted. 0 does not change them. 1 sets them all False. 2 sets them all True.
