MOTSIM
MOTSIM is a non-linear time-domain seakeeping simulation program that can predict vessel
motions in six degrees of freedom in any wave conditions. The seakeeping simulation
produces a time history of motions at the vessel’s center of gravity. This data is
used to determine the motions, velocities, and accelerations for any other location on
the vessel, assuming rigid body dynamics. Unlike frequency-domain codes, MOTSIM is not
limited to long, slender ship types and assumptions of linear response. A range of
vessels can be accommodated, including traditional monohulls, semi-submersibles, and
small waterplane area twin hulls (SWATHs).
