+Nonlinear Stiffness (EA) Inputs
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Non-linear values for the stiffness (EA) are an option in MoorDyn. For this, a file name can be provided instead of a number. This file 
+must be located in the same folder as the main MoorDyn input file for MoorDyn-C or for MoorDyn-F

+Syrope Model for Polyester Lines
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+MoorDyn supports the Syrope material model for polyester ropes. In this formulation, the
+tension–strain response is nonlinear and load-path dependent, meaning the unloading and
+reloading curves differ. See additional details in the :ref:`theory section <theory>`
+and the references therein.
+
+To enable the Syrope model for a given line type, specify the EA field using three
+bar-separated entries, analogous to the load-dependent dynamic stiffness method described in :ref:`Line Types <line-types-v2>`.
+To indicate Syrope, the first entry must start with ``SYROPE:``, followed by the name (or path)
+of a Syrope config file defining the working curves. The second and third entries are
+``EA_Dc`` and ``EA_D_Lm`` (as in the load-dependent dynamic stiffness method in :ref:`Line Types <line-types-v2>`). Static and dynamic
+damping may be provided in BA as ``BA_s|BA_d`` (same convention as above).
+
+Example:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+  TypeName   Diam    Mass/m     EA                                 BA
+  (name)     (m)     (kg/m)     (N)                               (N-s)
+  poly       ...     ...        SYROPE:syrope.dat|EA_Dc|EA_D_Lm   BA_s|BA_d
+
+The file ``syrope.dat`` defines 
+
+- OWC: a tabulated nonlinear original working curve
+- WCType: the working-curve type (options: ``LINEAR``, ``QUADRATIC``, ``EXP``)
+- k1: the first coefficient for the working curve formula (sets the strain offset where mean tension is zero)
+- k2: the second coefficient for the working curve formula (sets the curve shape)
+
+One example of such file is shown below.
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+  ../owc.dat  OWC     Original working curve lookup table path, relative to the MoorDyn input file
+  LINEAR      WCType  Working curve formula: LINEAR, QUADRATIC, or EXP
+  0.25        k1      First parameter defining the working curve shape
+  1.00        k2      Second parameter defining the working curve shape
+
+The ``owc.dat`` file follows the same format as the tabulated non-linear stiffness files described
+above (three header lines, then columns for strain and tension).
+
+Initial conditions are specified for the Syrope lines in a separate ``SYROPE IC`` section placed after the ``LINES`` section.
+
+- Line(s) - the Syrope line number(s). This may be a single line number or a comma-separated list of line numbers. If non-Syrope lines are included, they are ignored and a warning is raised.
+- Tmax0 – the initial highest mean tension experienced by the line prior to the current time (N)
+- Tmean0 – the initial mean tension (N)
+
+One example of the ``SYROPE IC`` section is shown below.
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+  ---------------------- SYROPE IC --------------------------------------
+  Line(s)   Tmax0    Tmean0
+  (-)        (N)       (N)
+  7,8,9    3.53e6    1.18e6
+
+In general, ``Tmax0 >= Tmean0``.
