Dear @Jason.Jonkman ,
I modeled entire tower in Subdyn. When I look through the Subdyn summary file, I am confused by MBBt.

I am not using MBBt in BModes. I am just confused what MBBt mean. MBBt seems to be the added mass matrix?
-
If I used this summary file to BModes (just for example), I want to confirm whether:
Platform mass inertia 3X3 matrix (i_matrix_pform) should use M_G (4, 4), M_G (5, 5), M_G (6, 6)?
