Layered on top of the floating array model is a set of design tools that can
20
+
be used for algorithmically adjusting or optimizing parts of the a floating
21
+
array. Specific tools existing for mooring lines, shared mooring systems,
22
+
dynamic power cables, static power cable routing, and overall array layout.
23
+
These capabilities work with the design representation and evaluation functions
24
+
in FAModel, and they can be applied by users in various combinations to suit
25
+
different purposes.

In addition to standalone uses of the FAD Toolset, a coupling has been made with
28

[Ard](https://github.com/WISDEM/Ard), a sophisticated and flexible wind farm
29

optimization tool. This coupling allows Ard to use certain mooring system
30

capabilities from FAD to perform layout optimization of floating wind farms
31

with Ard's more advanced layout optimization capabilities.

## Pre-installation Requirements

-
The FAModel package is built entirely in Python. It is recommended that users familiarize themselves with basic Python commands before use.
26
-
It is important to understand the general structure of FAModel and how to access models and stored information. Please see the model structure

## Getting Started
77
-
The easiest way to create an FAModel project is to provide the array information in an ontology yaml file. FAModel has been designed to work with a specific ontology yaml setup, which is described in detail in the [Ontology ReadMe](./famodel/ontology/README.md).
78
-
79
-
The [example driver file](./famodel/example_driver.py) creates an FAModel project from a pre-set ontology file and shows the syntax and outputs of various capabilities. For guidance on creating your own ontology yaml file, it is recommended to read through the [Ontology ReadMe](./famodel/ontology/README.md), then either adapt one of the ontology samples or fill in the ontology template.
80
-
81
-
The [FAModel core readme](./famodel/README.md) describes the FAModel class structure, as well as the properties and methods of each component class.
82

83

There are some limited helper functions to auntomatically fill in sections of a yaml from a moorpy system or a list of platform locations. See [FAModel helpers](./famodel/helpers.py) for the full list of yaml writing capabilities. Many of these are a work in progress.
