hydrodynamic-analysis
Hydrodynamic analysis using BEM, RAOs, added mass, damping, and wave loads for offshore structures
Best use case
hydrodynamic-analysis is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Hydrodynamic analysis using BEM, RAOs, added mass, damping, and wave loads for offshore structures
Teams using hydrodynamic-analysis should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.
