Get the turbine output #4

Hi pere,

Thank for your  contribution about the floating turbine.

 I'm using this library right now, the problem I have is that I want to get the torque and thrust of the floating turbine for further analysis, but I don't know where to get these outputs. I‘ll be appreciate if I get any indication.

Best regards, Li

You should get a .csv file with the turbine loads inside the turbines\0 folder. Then, it's only a matter of reading that file to extract the desired values. You can find a MATLAB script that does just that here.

Best regards, Pere
