Hello, I am studying array wave energy device analysis from the following paper：
[1] Mankle, Hannah, Yi-Hsiang Yu, and Bryony DuPont. WEC-Sim Array Development and Experimental Comparison Study. No. NREL/CP-5000-74083. National Renewable Energy Lab.(NREL), Golden, CO (United States), 2019.

I would like to ask if additional damping and joint constraints need to be added to each float when calculating in BEM (e.g. AQWA), just as PTO damping and joint constraints sometimes have a large impact on waves?

Thank you in advance.
