Sharing my thesis

[ewoudVL13]

Dear MoorDyn Community,

Almost one year ago I started asking questions in this chat. Now I present you my thesis on the modeling of a mussel line system in MoorDyn V2.

Now I can share it with you (if Github allows). I want to thank the active community for the help and insight they gave me. Through the sharing of my thesis I hope to give something back to the community.

These were the key elements of my research.

1. A total overview on MoorDyn V2
2. A study on the rod element and its usability as a buoy.
   ==> The rod element can not be used to model a spar buoy in waves
   ==> The rod element can be used to model a spar buoy in a current and its static state.
   ==> Within the code of the rod were discrepancies found
3. Creation of methods to create the input files

Yes, I now work in the offshore industry for DEME

@ewoudVL13 , I skimmed through but it looks like a pretty robust comparison with OrcaFlex. It's helpful to see where there are limitations to the hydrodynamics of rods in MD-C. This has been an issue on my radar, but haven't had the chance to address it yet. Congrats on this work!
