I am running an OpenFAST simulation for the NREL 5MW wind turbine with the OC4-DeepCwind semi-submersible platform. During the initialization, I encountered the following warning/error
Catenary solve of Line unsuccessful. Initializing as linear. I have not changed mooring properties and working on defaut mooring properties of 5MW_OC4Semi_WSt_WavesWN.
I would like to ask:
- Can I safely ignore this warning? Will it affect the platform’s motion and the overall simulation results?
- If this error is critical, how can I resolve it?
