Nacelle Inertial Position

Good morning,

Is it possible to obtain the xi, yi, and zi components of the translational position (relative to the inertia frame) of the Nacelle IMU or CoG? I would expect the output name to be something like NcIMUTPxi, NcIMUTPyi, NcIMUTPzi but I cannot see this in the manual. I see that you can obtain velocity and acceleration at this position but is the available output limited to this? I would need an output similar to TwHt1Tpxi, yi and zi just at the nacelle level.

Thanks in advance,
Bruce

Dear Bruce,

While such an output could be added by modifying the source code, this output is not available from OpenFAST now.

Best regards,

Hi Jason,

No problem, thank you very much for your response.

Kind regards,
Bruce
