Shipping6DOF – Python Package for the study of ship motions: Theory and Software Design

This document summarizes the basic theory and implementation of a python package for the study of motions of rigid plates, using sensor measurements. A short explanation of the development of the python package, necessary inputs, and outputs is given. Additionally, the theory behind the study of motions in rigid plates is also described. The present text should be considered supporting material to the Jupyter notebook provided with the installation of shipping6DOF, which features complete tutorials and validations.
