WEC-Sim_Applications

main build status dev build status

This repository contains applications of the WEC-Sim code, including tutorials by the WEC-Sim team as well as user-shared examples.

To contribute an example follow these guidelines:

  • Create a new branch off the dev branch.
  • Create a folder on the top level with a single example (folders starting with a dot or underscore are ignored).
  • Do not include results as these take up space and can easily be generated by running the example.
  • Using the README_template.md file create a README.md file for your example. Include the example name, the author, WEC-Sim version, and description.
  • Using the TestB2B.m test as a template, create a TestCASE.m file that will run BEMIO and check the functionality of your application when changes are made to the WEC-Sim source code.
  • Include any required MATLAB toolboxes in a text file called products.txt. Use one line per toolbox and use the same naming conventions as described for the products input to the Setup MATLAB action.
  • Create a pull request against the dev branch. The WEC-Sim team will review your example and add it to the repo.

Testing Applications

Tests are provided for the applications using the MATLAB unit testing framework.

Individual test files are typically found at the same level as a hydroData directory, with a file name like Test<Something>.m. These test files may test multiple application cases that use the same hydrodynamic data.

For the latest release of WEC-Sim_Applications, or the main branch, it is assumed that the latest release or main branch of WEC-Sim is installed. For tests containing the name "MoorDyn", it is also necessary to install the MoorDyn module into WEC-Sim. The tests in the Desalination folder require the Simscape Fluids toolbox.

Assuming that the WEC-Sim_Applications source code is located at some path \path\to\WEC-Sim_Applications, then to test the Body-to-Body Interaction application cases, the following commands can be given in the MATLAB interface:

>> cd \path\to\WEC-Sim_Applications\Body-to-Body_Interactions
>> runtests("TestB2B.m")
...

Alternatively, the TestB2B.m file can be opened in the MATLAB editor and then the tests can be run by selecting the Run Tests action in the EDITOR ribbon.

A shortcut for running all the tests in the repository is provided at the root level with the wecSimAppTest.m function. This function can be run from the root directory, as follows:

>> cd \path\to\WEC-Sim_Applications
>> wecSimAppTest
...

Alternatively, the function can also be used to run tests in a particular directory. For instance, run the tests in the End_Stops directory as follows:

>> wecSimAppTest End_Stops
...
