Abstract
Boundary Element Method (BEM) solvers are
extensively used to obtain the hydrodynamic coefficients
required to model hydrodynamic forces in floating marine
structures. BEM solvers require the discretization of the
submerged device surface as a mesh to compute the hydro-dynamic coefficients as radiation damping and added mass,
response amplitude operators and linear and second-order
exciting forces. Each of these solvers need particular input
files and mesh formats, and save the results in specific file
formats. Typically, the input and output files are incompatible
between different solvers. Researchers handle this problem by
converting model results through homemade spreadsheets or
macros made in scripting languages. BEMRosetta was created
to allow loading and saving the input files, mesh geometries
and the hydrodynamic coefficients, in different formats. Furthermore, it also includes a mesh viewer. Additionally, BEMRosetta can calculate different parameters from the mesh and
the hydrodynamic coefficients. Through its integration with
the Finite-Order hydrodynamic Approximation by Moment Matching (FOAMM) toolbox, BEMRossetta allows the state space model of the radiation convolution term for the desired
degrees of freedom be obtained.
