verified floating tower design #69

Closed gbarter closed 3 years ago

gbarter commented 3 years ago

I revisited the floating tower optimization and made a couple of small tweaks from the iterations we did in the summer. I tested it a couple different ways in OpenFAST to confirm that on the floating platform, the resonant frequency is ~0.5Hz and consistent with the original design intent.

I tried to run some of Jenni's scripts to generate the HAWC2 version, but I don't think I did it correctly.
