Floater motion sensor


The Floater motion sensor can be added by clicking on the sensor icon in the floater part, as shown in the picture below



The Floater motion sensor provides the following fields
Field Unit Description
Surge (forward) m Translation of the floater along the surge (forward) axis
Sway (sideways) m Translation of the floater along the sway (sideways) axis
Heave (up) m Translation of the floater along the heave (vertical, upward) axis
Roll (about surge axis) deg Rotation of the floater about the surge (forward) axis (roll)
Pitch (about sway axis) deg Rotation of the floater about the sway (sideways) axis (pitch)
Yaw (about heave (vertical) axis) deg Rotation of the floater about the heave (vertical) axis (yaw)
Draft m
Yaw error (relative to wind angle) deg angle between the wind direction and the forward direction of the floater
