Possible Unit Mismatch for Roll, Pitch, and Yaw in RAFT Output

Wind & Water Computer-Aided Engineering Software Tools

Dear all,
checking the results reported in the refturb_output.xlsx after a RAFT run (with some constraints on platform pitch, as reported below), I noticed a small error in the unit of roll, pitch and yaw variables (for example raft.stats_pitch_max).

constraints161×118 1.4 KB

In the RAFT_OMDAO class they are defined as radians, as reported in the refturb_output.xlsx column, but their values are too high to be radians.

raft_pitch_yaw_roll_units
raft_pitch_yaw_roll_units1895×285 45.8 KB

Do you agree with this interpretation?
Thanks in advance.

Best, regards

Hi Vincenzo,

You’re right, the angles are indeed in degrees. Thanks for spotting that!
That bug fix will be included in the next RAFT release, which should be available in a few days.

Thanks
