Pitch Damping, Mooring Reposition — Same Kind of Control?
The FOWT digital twin from my previous post could only watch the platform — it ran a co-simulation, plotted the result, and told you whether the mooring held, but it never changed how the platform…

Who Runs Your Simulation When You're Not a Simulation Engineer?
tl;dr — Type "run a 6 m, 10 s storm at 12 m/s and plot pitch," and an LLM turns that sentence into a tool call, runs the real FMU, plots the result, and tells you whether the mooring held —…

It Moves Now — Dynamic Mooring in 6DOF
A floating wind turbine that never moves isn't telling us very much. Part 1 of this series held the platform at a single frozen offset — a useful first look at the mooring physics, but no real…

One Line. Four Models. Which One, and When?
Mooring lines bend, sag, drag along the seabed, and reshape with every platform motion. The force that shape produces at any given moment drives early design, safety margins, and real-time…
