Feature or improvement description
In PR #3105, the unused
PitchAxiscolumn has been removed from the DISTRIBUTED BLADE PROPERTIES table in the ED blade input file. This table should now have 5 columns instead of 6. However, legacy input files with 6 columns will not trigger an error, leading to incorrect results.To prevent this problem, this PR adds a check on the number of columns in the ED blade properties table. OpenFAST will error out if 6 columns are detected instead of 5.
A bug in printing ED summary file caused by the removal of
PitchAxishas also been fixed.BeamDyn user input and API changes in docs are updated to reflect the change input files.
