Is it possible to use Stonefish for surface vehicles/boats? #32

I want to be able to use the stonefish simulator for boats and I was wondering if that has ever been tried.

Yes, there is a minimal example in the tests folder: https://github.com/patrykcieslak/stonefish/blob/master/Tests/FloatingTest/FloatingTestManager.cpp

Yes it is possible, the buoyancy is working realistically, so if you build a boat it will not sink. However, I have not worked on surface vehicles yet but I know there is one strange behavior that makes all things that are on the surface rotate slowly. I will try to fix it as I am implementing some stuff now.
