We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

When the maneuvering hydrodynamic derivatives are known (added mass and potential damping linear terms related to yaw and sway motions: Yv_dot, Yr_dot, Nv_dot, Nr_dot, Yv, Yr, Nv, Nr), and the goal is to model the maneuvering forces using these coefficients, is it possible, during a hydrodynamic response analysis, to substitute these terms calculated in hydrodynamic diffraction with these known coefficients?
