Blade mode shapes with BModes

Dear René,

Normally the blade structural twist is set to zero in BModes when obtaining mode shapes for FAST. When the resulting mode shapes are specified in FAST, along with the proper structural twist, the flapwise and edgewise mode shapes get coupled. This is discussed more in the following forum topic: Coupled blade modes in FAST. Obviously there is some approximation here, but from my experience, the result is quite accurate.

Best regards,
