Combining Rod Damping and improving input file format
…ther defined in the global earth-fixed coordinate system or the local body-fixed coordinate system through a new input switch External force and damping of point objects must always be in the global coordinate system due to a lack of rotational DoFs. The distributed transverse and axial damping of rod objects only make sense in the local body-fixed coordinate system. The behavior of external force on rod objects need to be clarified in the future.

Feature or improvement description
This PR adds user-specified external forces (constant) and translational linear and quadratic damping coefficients to MoorDyn point, rod, and body objects.
A new optional input file section called
EXTERNAL LOADS
is added to the MoorDyn input file for these purposes, so no change to existing input files is necessary. Below is an example of the new optional MoorDyn input file section.For BODY, the force and damping are applied at the body reference point in the global earth-fixed coordinate system if
CSys

for global or in the local body-fixed coordinate system ifCSys
isL

can only beG
orL
for BODY.For POINT, the force and damping are applied at the point location in the global earth-fixed coordinate system always.
CSys
should be-
. Otherwise, a warning message with explanation will be shown.For ROD, the force is applied at the rod end A in the earth-fixed coordinate system always. Only two linear and two quadratic damping coefficients can be specified for rods. The first one is for the transverse direction, and the second one is for the axial/tangential direction. The damping force is always evaluated in the body-fixed system.
CSys
should be-
. Otherwise, a warning message with explanation will be shown. Note that this new implementation serves as an extension and replacement of PR #2342.This PR also addresses issue #2565.
The new feature and implementation are finalized after consulting with @RyanDavies19 and @mattEhall.
Jointly developed with @RyanDavies19.
