Resultant force applied on the substructure in the presence of a tuned mass damper

Dear @Jason.Jonkman,

I hope you are doing well.

I found the following output channels in the file “OutList_parameters.xlsx”:

SStC1_Fxi Substructure StC #1 – X resulting force Inertial (global) coordinates
SStC1_Fyi Substructure StC #1 – Y resulting force Inertial (global) coordinates
SStC1_Fzi Substructure StC #1 – Z resulting force Inertial (global) coordinates
SStC1_Mxi Substructure StC #1 – X resulting moment Inertial (global) coordinates
SStC1_Myi Substructure StC #1 – Y resulting moment Inertial (global) coordinates
SStC1_Mzi Substructure StC #1 – Z resulting moment Inertial (global) coordinates

I would like to confirm: if I place a TMD on the floater, are the above output channels the forces and moments exerted by the TMD on the FOWT at the StC reference point?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Best regards,

Riad

Dear @Riad.Elhamoud,

Yes, your understanding is correct.
