Dear all,
I looked at the topic linked in Jason post where MAP++ is used to extract the 6x6 stiffness matrix of a mooring system. I’m not familiar at all with python and after some (failed) tries i decided to come back to this forum to see if there is a more suitable solution for my problem.
In particular i’ve found this topic Questions about the HydroDyn Module - #2 by Jason.Jonkman where a FAST7 linearization procedure is used to compute the 6x6 mooring stiffness matrix.
I’ve put together a FAST7 model of the floating wind turbine i’m studying and i tried the procedure mentioned above. However i get a zero 6x6 DspCMat matrix.
Is it correct to use the FAST 7 linearization with zero WAMIT input files to get the mooring lines stiffness matrix? If yes what I’m doing wrong?
Thank you!
Alessandro
