Hi,
I can now provide a MWE that I experimented so far, and its corresponding error message, respectively:
-
The example was directly based on:
OpenFAST/docs/source/user/beamdyn/examples/bd_driver_dynamic_nrel_5mw.inp
-
I added the following lines into the original file:
1 NumPointLoads - Number of Point Loads (primary input file section header)
---------------------- MULTIPLE POINT LOADS --------------------------------------
0.5 PointLoad(1,1) - Nodal point loads - Node No DOF No
0.0 PointLoad(1,2) - Nodal point loads - Node No DOF No
0.0 PointLoad(1,3) - Nodal point loads - Node No DOF No
0.0 PointLoad(1,4) - Nodal point loads - Node No DOF No
0.0 PointLoad(1,5) - Nodal point loads - Node No DOF No
0.0 PointLoad(1,6) - Nodal point loads - Node No DOF No
0.0 PointLoad(1,7) - Nodal point loads - Node No DOF No
- Accordingly, the modified file, bd_driver_dynamic_nrel_5mw.inp, became the following:

Could you please at least give me some hint about where I should look at for the solution, if possible?
Many thanks,
