Dear @Jason.Jonkman

Hope you are doing well.

I wanna ask you about Channel Output. In fact, i modified the source code of the Structural control module. The value of m%Fext was initially zero. I modified it in the aim of doing active structural control on the 5 MW barge-type FOWT. I recompile the new source code and the compilation was successful. However, could you please tell me how to obtain the m%Fext time series as an output channel? I did not succeed in finding such output in the Excel file named “OutlistParameters.xlsx”.

Thank u in advance.

Best Regards,

Riad

Dear @Riad.Elhamoud,

The externally applied load for the structural controller is not currently an available output (the reaction loads of the structural controller are an output though), but if you are changing the source code anyway, you could add that yourself.

Best regards
