Excellent work. Now we need a Simscape Essential to model electric marine propulsion, propeller and vessel drag, wind and wave forces, thermal management, and power management of propulsion, generators, battery banks, and solar/wind turbines. That should keep you guys occupied if you aren’t working on that already. Add sensor and databus management if you’re bored.
