Greetings,

I am trying to change the geometry for the 5MW_OC3Trpd_DLL_WSt_WavesReg r-test example in the SubDyn and HydroDyn file.

However I get this error message all the time:

FAST_InitializeAll:SD_Init:SD_Discrt: Member list contains an element which is not a beam, a
cable or a rigid link

In the comments you can find my SubDyn and HydroDyn code. Thanks! I have substituted some values by letters to avoid sharing too much information.

Sorry for my lack of knowledge regarding this topic.

Dear @Pere.Palacin,

The error you are receiving is from SubDyn. The member type (MType) in SubDyn must be 1, 2, or 3, and you have set it to 0.

Best regards,

Thanks a lot! That worked.

Kind regards.
