Mesh in openfast

1

Hi, I’m approaching Openfast because of my thesis work. I didn’t understand the mesh used by the program. Where I can find more material about this topic?

Dear @Andrea.Malacrino,

Presumably you are referring to the internal spatial mesh-mapping that is used share (input/output) data between modules; is that correct? The mesh-mapping used within OpenFAST is documented in the following three papers:

https://dx.doi.org/10.2514/6.2015-1461
https://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy17osti/67015.pdf (documents linearization of the mesh mapping)

Best regards,

Dear @Jason.Jonkman,
Yes I was referring to spatial mesh-mapping.
thank you very much for the help.
