I've just released OCN-SIM Flex v0.1.2. There's lot's of new fea­tures to explore, so go grab yours now on

https://gitlab.com/OCN-Academy/OCN-SIM

Changes include:

• Cal­cu­la­tion of inter­nal forces
• New con­fig­u­ra­tion file for­mat — .ini con­form­ing sec­tions. If your edi­tor sup­ports it: Go for code folding!
• Basic sup­port for hydro­foils (unfor­tu­nate­ly I did not yet include any exem­plary coef­f­cient files)

After hav­ing had quite a busy time writ­ing  my Ph.D. the­sis, I final­ly man­aged to incor­po­rate some new changes into OCN-SIM Flex that are mean­ing­ful enough to tag this with a new ver­sion.  This main­ly includes the fol­low­ing changes:

• Intro­duced sub­sti­tu­tion vari­ables as a com­fort­able way to define val­ues occur­ring sev­er­al times in an input file
• Main­ly changes under the hood to make life a lit­tle eas­i­er for developers

More­over, there's lots of algo­rithms and fea­tures that are still unpub­lished, but which will find their way into this repo, once they are prop­er­ly eval­u­at­ed and reviewed. Amongst oth­ers, this is going to include the eval­u­a­tion of inter­nal reac­tion forces as to be seen in the demo pic­ture. So just drop by from time to time and see what's new.

Greet­ings from the scriptorium,
