Dear All,

I am new to OpenFOAM and any help will be appreciate!

I would like to simulate two cylinders floating on the wave surface with a hydraulic system to extract power (http://www.pelamiswave.com/).
At the moment, I am doing some research about the solver "waves2foam" and the result of wave and floating structure interaction seems good.

Then, I would like to ask:

How should I model the hinge connection problem and the next step, where should I start with its Power take-off system (hydraulic motor), is there any tutorial or reference?

Many Thanks,
Yage
