Hello,
I would like to know if the calculation of the blade deflection is made with a linear or cubic distribution of properties .
Thank you very much!

Dear Patricia,
I’m assuming you are asking how the distributed mass and stiffness specified in the blade input file of the ElastoDyn module of FAST/OpenFAST is interpolated to the blade analysis nodes? This is simply linear interpolation.
Best regards,
