Structural validation of custom blade design

Dear @Jason.Jonkman,

I’m using ElastoDyn + BeamDyn, the aerodynamic forces match well in both rigid and elastic simulations, and the moment issue was symptomatic of a difference in pitching moment formulation between the codes which I’ve now fixed.

I’m trying to reproduce the runs without aerodynamic forces - but when I run openFAST with CompAero or CompInflow set to 0 I get no deflections. How should I go about checking deflection under gravity with BeamDyn?

Best wishes,
Abdirahman
