MoorPy - Quasi-Static Mooring Analysis in Python

MoorPy is a design-oriented mooring system library for Python based around a quasi-static modeling approach.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.9 or greater
• The following packages: NumPy, MatPlotLib, pyyaml, scipy

Installation

MoorPy is available on PyPi via:

pip install MoorPy

For an editable install that relies on the local source code, first clone the repository. Then, from the command line in the main MoorPy directory, run the following commands (with a "-e" for "editable") based on your additional needs. The "dev", "test", and "docs" flags will install necessary packages related to development, testing, or documentation (e.g., the docs flag installs "sphinx" for documentation).

General

pip install .

Development

pip install .[dev]

Testing

pip install .[test]
pre-commit install --hook-type pre-commit --hook-type pre-push

Documentation

pip install .[docs]

MoorPy's documentation website is under development at https://moorpy.readthedocs.io
