Feature or improvement description
This PR reverts the BeamDyn initial strain fix that was merged last year and released in OpenFAST
v3.5.1
. It then implements a new fix for the initial strain based on the GEBT implemented in OpenTurbine.Impacted areas of the software
BeamDyn
5MW_Land_BD_Linear Regression test
5MW_Land_BD_Linear_Aero Regression Test
Additional supporting information
The previous fix for the initial strain caused issues with linearization for the IEA 15MW turbine which has a curved blade. The full reason for this is not understood; however, a substitute fix was readily available and easy to implement once the previous fix was reverted.
Test results, if applicable
This PR changes the
5MW_Land_BD_Linear
and5MW_Land_BD_Linear_Aero
regression test results which were generated after the previous initial strain fix was implemented.
