Laboratory Upgrade Point Absorber (LUPA) CAD Files

Description

The Laboratory Upgrade Point Absorber (LUPA) is an open-source wave energy converter designed and tested by Oregon State University. The computer-aided design (CAD) files are provided here in two forms: the original SOLIDWORKS (2021) model as "LUPA SOLIDWORKS.zip" and as a STEP file "LUPA-A1000.step". The bill of materials is provided as an Excel file with assemblies (LUPA-Axxx), part numbers (LUPA-Axxx-Pyyy), part descriptions, manufacturers, and manufacturer part numbers. This comprehensive CAD model represents LUPA as it was deployed in Fall 2022 testing at the O.H. Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory. The mass properties including mass, center of gravity, and moments of inertia have been overridden for some parts and assemblies to match the physical device properties as determined from experiments. This appears as "overridden by user" when viewing mass properties in SOLIDWORKS. The LUPA-A1000.SLDASM file from the LUPA SOLIDWORKS.zip folder is the topmost assembly, open this file to see the entire model as one assembly. See "PMEC Page", "OpenEI Wiki Page", and the "Signature Project Page" resources below for more information on LUPA.
