Capytaine is Python package for the simulation of the interaction between water waves and floating bodies in frequency domain. It is built around a full rewrite of the open source Boundary Element Method (BEM) solver Nemoh for the linear potential flow wave theory.
Packages for Windows, macOS and Linux are available on PyPI:
pip install capytaine
and Conda-forge
conda install -c conda-forge capytaine
or as a standalone executable (with some drawbacks) at https://github.com/capytaine/capytaine-standalone.
