I can also confirm this is still an issue with a heavily curved blade with sweep and twist (gravity on, no aero). The tip translational deflections are close, but the...

For no gravity, there is a very small difference in the blade I was looking at. ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2745453/132380916-1c078b16-1cc2-4d1e-862a-ddfe5272bdde.png) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2745453/132380936-9ded15b0-1d3c-401c-921f-6eaa998909d4.png) One interesting thing with both your plot and these plots is the...

I checked the case I had previously run (curve + sweep + non-linear twist) using `dev` at f5b3baef with the `qfit` limit discussed in the meeting. The differences in tip...

Hi @jjonkman and @LaurenceWETI, I wonder if it might make sense to look at modifying the blade mounted structural controls to include Coriolis forces as needed? Those currently allow for...

The StCs are essentially tuned mass dampers with the ability to control stiffness and damping through a controller. These are implemented through the ServoDyn module and may be mounted to...

A few thoughts on this: 1. For a distributed mass, you would need to define a line mesh option for the StC. This would take some additional code in both...

A couple of questions: - which version of OpenFAST? - what size timestep are you using?

Hi Andrew, Which operating system are you on? Do the example models work (https://github.com/OpenFAST/openfast/tree/v3.0.0/glue-codes/simulink/examples)? Regards, Andy

Is that for a standalone driver case, or fully coupled case? I'm a bit surprised that commit slowed down the speed. All the changes referenced are during the initialization step,...

I agree that picking this up in the automated testing would be very useful. We will undoubtedly catch some unintended consequences. It might also be useful at some point to...
