Verification:
- MOSES Tests: A large collection of tests for various capabilities of MOSES.
The MOSES Verification Page provides access to the set of problems discussed in the Verification Document.
The MOSES Conventions and Coordinates Page summarizes the various sign conventions and coordinate systems.
The Technical Limits discusses some specific limits which you may encounter and which we simply cannot fix.
Comparisons:
A movie showing both the real launch and the MOSES simulation of the launch of the BP Amberjack Jacket. This file is about 49M. (Thanks to Tim Nolte).
A movie showing both the real launch and the MOSES simulation of the launch of a PEMEX 8 pile jacket. This file is about 18M (Thanks to Tim Nolte).
A movie showing both model test results and the MOSES simulation of the the motions of a spar. This file is about 27M (Thanks to Tim Nolte).

Miscellaneous:
OTTO Theory Document The theory behind "OTTO" a precursor to MOSES.
Assessing the Integrity of a Body Subjected to a Seaway is a paper that was written several years ago, but it is still a fairly accurate picture of how MOSES does some things.
"A Study of the Comparative Mooring Performance of Kevlar and Steel Ropes" is an old report. It is in HTML so that you can browse it.
