Dimensions for radiation damping coefficients


Q: What are the dimensions for radiation damping coefficients in the MOSES output?
REV 5.10

A: The output says "Values Normalized by Mass with Weight = xxx". What MOSES is reporting is the weight of the body in question, and needs to be converted to mass to compute a damping coefficient to be used outside of MOSES. The translational values have units of 1/sec, the rotational values have units of ft^2/sec or meters^2/sec.
