Dear Jason

Thank you very much for your answer， but there seems to be no formula for calculating inertia loads in the topic you provided.
If I understand you correctly the inertial load is the mass of the rotor times the acceleration at the top of the tower

Best regard

Dear @Tianhui.Liu,

Yes, that is correct for a rigid rotor, but for a flexible rotor, the calculation of inertial loads is tied to other system states as a byproduct of the system equations of motion.

Best regards,
