FAST tower polynomial mode shapes from BMODES - MATLAB script?

Hi All,

I’m using BMODES to generate tower mode shapes and then the excel sheet “ModeShapePolyFitting” to generate the polynomial coefficients.

I’m surprised I haven’t been able to find a matlab script to achieve such, as it seems like a significant block in an automation flow.

So my question is, does anyone in the FAST community have such a script before I go and write one?

Thanks,

Dear Chris,

While I haven’t used it myself, another user of FAST (Ian Prowell) wrote the attached MATLAB script that could be used as a replacement for the ModeShapePolyFitting.xls spreadsheet.
