NREL 5-MW reference turbine

Dear @Abraham.Belderbos,

That is correct; the figure you reference includes the effects of elasticity. I don’t have the exact same plots without elasticity, but I would expect the elastic affects to be small. Of course, you can always regenerate the data with a rigid turbine by rerunning the simulations in OpenFAST.
