# Capabilities of HydroChrono

1218
With HydroChrono, you can model any system that's supported by Chrono - from multiple bodies and joints to finite element bodies and discrete element particles. HydroChrono will supply hydrodynamic forces to any rigid body in the system - whether you're looking to simulate multibody wave energy converters (WECs) or floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) with flexible towers and blades through Chrono::FEA.

Here is an example of a floating wind turbine with flexible tower and blades where HydroChrono is supplying wave forces to the (rigid body) floating platform:

And here is a cutaway view of multibody WEC (TALOS) with 6 PTOs connecting the hull to a large internal reaction mass. HydroChrono is supplying wave forces to the hull:
