Dear SACS users,
I have been trying to perform dynamic super element analysis to set up a load iteration process with the turbine manufacturer.
I tried to follow the steps menioned in the help file of DSE analysis as much as possible.
I made a simple model of 3 legged jacket with a wind turbine tower. The idea was to extract the dynamic super element at the interface of the jacket & turbine tower.
Step 1: Modal Analysis
The Dynamic Super element data file (dsetrs.*), which is an output of modal analysis is used as an input for wave response to generate reduced forces. However if I run the wave response together with dsetrs.* , I get an error : as shown below:
Step 2: Wave response :
basically the wvrlst.response stops at a point where the programstarts reading wvrinp. files.
Has anyone faced this issue before ? I somehow feel that I am unable to generate the dsetrs.modal file accurately which leads to this problem.
Thanks
