Dynamic Analysis of offshore wind turbine on triceratop floating platform

Dear Purushotham,

What sort of FAST - ANSYS/AQWA coupling are you envisioning?

If you simply want to take the frequency-dependent hydrodynamic coefficients computed by AQWA and use them in FAST/HydroDyn, you will simply need to convert the format to that of WAMIT, and perhaps shift the reference point as discussed in the following forum topic: hydrodynamics - #4 by Jason.Jonkman.

If you want to develop some sort of two-way structure-to-structure coupling between FAST and ANSYS/AQWA, that is a much more involved task.

Best regards,
