python implementation of QBlade with wind, waves and current
I am currently running simulations by calling the QBlade DLL file from Python, looping over various wind velocities and directions. Would it be possible to integrate sea state and current modeling into the simulation and execute it in a similar manner using Python? You can find attached my script.

Hello Giacomo,
you are correct that no functionality similar to the setPowerLawWind() exists. Since sea states typically involve numerous parameters, exposing all of them through an API function could lead to unnecessary complexity.
Instead, the recommended approach for modifying wave conditions dynamically is to directly edit the ASCII wave file (.lwa). For example, you can adjust parameters such as Hs, Tp, and the random seed to customize a wave template for specific conditions. Once modified, you can load the corresponding simulation file (.sim) that references the updated wave template. This method requires altering only a few lines in the .lwa file to achieve the desired conditions.
BR,
David
