 Example using [Body-to-Body (B2B)](https://wec-sim.github.io/WEC-Sim/main/user/advanced_features.html#body-to-body-interactions) to run WEC-Sim for the RM3 geometry. The scripts run and plot the RM3 model with B2B on/off and with Regular/RegularCIC. Execute the `runB2B.m` script to run this case.

 **Description:**
 
-This model simulates a Floating Oscillating Water Column (OWC) device using a rigid-body approach. 
-It incorporates performance curves for both a Wells Turbine and a generator, providing a realistic 
-representation of their dynamic behavior. Additionally, the model accounts for the presence of a
- mooring system to ensure the stability of the floating body.

It incorporates performance curves for both a Wells Turbine and a generator, providing a realistic representation of their dynamic behavior. Additionally, the model accounts for the presence of a mooring system to ensure the stability of the floating body.
 
 An optimal control strategy is implemented to maximize turbine efficiency by dynamically adjusting system parameters based on operating speed.
