Dear Jonkman,
when I searched the keyword “strain” in the OutListParameters file, it seems to that there is only the strain of the shaft and rotor. In the forum, I found that ElastoDyn.dat may own these parameters. What’s the meaning of TwrGagNd and NBlGages? How to get the output of strain in blades and the tower? Thank you.
Best regards
