About
MultiSurf is a sophisticated 3D design software by AeroHydro, Inc., tailored specifically for marine design applications. Used widely by naval architects and marine engineers, it allows precise modeling of complex boat, yacht, and ship structures through its extensive support for varied geometric shapes and surfaces. MultiSurf uses a "relational geometry" approach, meaning that changes to one part of a model will automatically adjust related parts, allowing for quick, iterative design refinements. This makes it particularly useful for creating hydrodynamic and structurally optimized designs.

About
OpenFAST is an open source wind turbine simulation tool developed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). It builds upon the FAST v8 code, integrating aerodynamics, hydrodynamics, control systems, and structural dynamics to enable comprehensive, coupled nonlinear aero-hydro-servo-elastic time-domain simulations of wind turbines. OpenFAST supports various configurations, including land-based, fixed-bottom offshore, and floating offshore turbines. The platform aims to foster an open source developer community across research laboratories, industry, and academia, providing a robust software engineering framework with well-documented source code, automated testing, and a multi-platform build system. Key organizational changes from FAST v8.16 to OpenFAST include the establishment of a new GitHub repository consolidating glue codes, modules, and compiling tools; updated version numbering; and the introduction of unit testing at the subroutine level.
