Feature or improvement description
This PR enables
WaveStMod=1(vertical wave stretching) whenWaveMod=0(calm water).Previously, SeaState automatically sets
WaveStMod=0(no wave stretching) ifWaveMod=0. HydroDyn only considers the vertical displacements of strip-theory member nodes whenWaveStMod/=0. This prevents accurate linearization if the structure has a large heave offset because linearization requiresWaveMod=0, which, in turn, forcesWaveStMod=0.This PR allows the user to set
WaveStMod=1when performing linearization, so that the vertical offset of the strip-theory members and the resulting change in wetted lengths are taken into account.Impacted areas of the software
