2 Known issues and workarounds
- Initial pitch has been disabled for this version. To have a structural pitch, use the pitch actuators and the PID controller for the demanded pitch scheme
- Exporting and importing the floater makes mooring lines disappear. The suggested workaround is to add the mooring lines with the 'Configure moorings' action button
- The DTU 10-MW RNA saved in the RNA database has a wrong gearbox ratio: it should be 50 instead of 97
- The IEA 15-MW RNA saved in the RNA database has a wrong nacelle mass: it should be 630 888 kg instead of 360 888 kg
3 Bugs fixed
- Importing floater created two tubular towers
- Element with unspecified geometry had Area in vbox info
- Incorrect error message in batch when path to controller is wrong
- Structure was re-created when importing support sections in batch
- Blade structure was not saved with the model
- Point mass at the Nacelle Center of Mass node was not shown
- Hydro coefficients were applied below sea bed
