 Run wecSimMCR for orifice area study in mcrOrifice.mat which will work with the
 userDefinedFunctions.m
 
+## Flexible-body piston force
+
+In `OWC_GBM.slx`, the orifice piston force and wave excitation are summed before
+the generalized-body-mode state-space input. The piston force was already
+included in the reported flexible-body acceleration, but its previous direct
+excitation-only connection to the state-space path left the force out of the
+integrated flexible-body motion. The state-space block retains the existing
+flexible stiffness and damping terms.
+The corrected model is saved in the original R2023b Simulink format.
+
+The 130 s irregular-wave case in `wecSimInputFile.m` uses `ode23t`, a
+0.00015625 s simulation step, and 0.005 s output sampling. WEC-Sim
+initialization sets the model's maximum solver step from `simu.dt`, so the
+simulation step must be specified in the input file. The radiation convolution,
+nonlinear-force, and Morison-force sample times remain explicitly at their
+original 0.005 s setting. An audit with the old 0.005 s solver step found up
+to 1.687 m difference in surge and 1.62% difference in pneumatic work against
+a refined solver run with identical waves and no Mach-limit warnings.
