AB - This work explores the development of a Modelica™ compliant Ocean Engineering Toolbox (OET). Focusing on a symbolic solution to the Cummins equation for a floating, heaving body subject to polychromatic wave excitation forces, three formulations of the radiation convolution (symbolic, numerical, and state-space) are investigated and validated using the benchmark WEC-Sim. The presented formulation is tested using the model parameters of the Reference Model-3 (RM3) heaving point absorber Wave Energy Converter (WEC). For a preset excitation force, a 300-second simulation of the OET yields accurate results when compared to WEC-Sim. Computational speed measurements also indicate significant improvements in simulation efficiency compared to solving the radiation convolution integral numerically.
