Comparing ElastoDyn with BeamDyn for blade tip deformations

Wind & Water Structural Analysis

Dear @Lin.Yang,

I agree with your equation for BeamDyn_Oop and BeamDyn_Inp.

Regarding B1TipRDzr, see a similar discussion in the following forum topic: Extract blade tip torsional deformation from the Wiener-Milenković parameters in BeamDyn.

I agree that a small amount of blade torsion would influence in-plane deflection more than out-of-plane deflection.

Best regards,
