Dear all
I would like to study the effect of TLCMCD applying to floating foundation for rocking reduction. I wonder if OpenFast can do multi-body coupling simulation of liquid sloshing in a tank of the floating foundation
Thanks
best regards
Tianhui
Dear @Tianhui.Liu,
The capability to model tuned mass dampers (TMDs) and tuned liquid-column dampers (TLCDs) in floating substructures was recently added to OpenFAST through the structural control (StC) submodel of the ServoDyn module. See the documentation available here for more information: 4.2.12. Structural Control (SrvD) — OpenFAST v3.3.0 documentation.
Best regards,
