SMP provides predictions of the motions, i.e., displacements, velocities, and accelerations for a ship advancing at constant speed with arbitrary heading in both regular waves and irregular seas. The irregular seas are modeled using a two-parameter Bretschneider wave spectral model. Both long-crested and short-crested results are provided. In addition to the six-degree-of-freedom responses, the absolute motions, velocities and accelerations for various locations on the ship can also be obtained. Relative motion, relative velocity, and the probabilities and frequencies of occurrence of submergence, emergence, and/or slamming for various locations on the ship are also available. The SMP was written in modular form for ease in making future changes.
