Dear all,

Kind regards

@MOREnergylab @DavideIssoglio does the MOST team have any documentation or guidance on creating this structure?

Good morning. Mass_Inertia_Properties.mat is not created with AQWA (or equivalent potential flow tools), but is created externally by the user, and the only information needed for the simulation it contains is the mass and inertia matrix of the floater. To better understand how it is created and used, I recommend exploring this ‘unofficial’ version of MOST on the MOREnergy Lab github (https://github.com/MOREnergylab). I recommend first consulting the guide in User Manual --> Pre-processing --> Hydrodynamic (https://github.com/MOREnergylab/MOST/blob/master/Docs/MOST_GUIDE.pdf). I hope this has been helpful.
