Dear all,
Is ‘AddCLin - Additional linear stiffness’ related to the mooring system?

Dear Fernando,
AddCLin in HydroDyn for FAST v8 is a 6x6 stiffness matrix that can be used to augment stiffness-related terms modeled elsewhere by FAST from e.g. hydrostatic stiffness, system weight, and mooring stiffness. We’ve used it e.g. to tune the natural frequency of a model to measured data when there are uncertainties in the actual system stiffness.
We are working on a HydroDyn user guide and theory manual that–once released–should help clarify how the module works.
Best regards,
Hi Jason,
Thank you very much. I wasn’t understanding your description of this concept in one of your reports. Now it’s clear!
Best regards,
