Add Test case for flexible platforms #39

Open andrew-platt opened 3 years ago

andrew-platt commented 3 years ago

No test cases were added to the regression tests when platform flexibility was added (https://github.com/OpenFAST/openfast/pull/537).

Add a test case using a publicly available structure that has been validated to some extent:

  1. Simple spar based on OC3
  2. paper by Borg et al that includes a model of a flexible spar. This is a model of the DTU 10-MW turbine atop a fictitious spar: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1742-6596/753/8/082024/pdf

Yes, this is definitely something that needs to be developed...just need a project to fund this. The full-system models we have tested to-date contain proprietary information that cannot be shared publicly.

In addition to the options identified by @andrew-platt, another possibility is the public version of the TetraSpar: https://www.mdpi.com/1996-1073/13/18/4911.

Best regards,
