Missing Input Files in FAST v8.16 Archive

Hi everyone,

I was looking the input files of certification cases in FASTv8.16. In the primary input file of Test#14 (linearized model), the file path of the aerofile defined as “WP_Baseline/Test14_AD15.ipt”. But I couldn’t find the related aero file as well as servo file. CompAero and CompServo are zero in primary input files, is that mean those files are not used for analysis and marked “unused”?

Kind regards.

Dear Enes,

Yes, that’s correct. Because CompInflow = CompAero = CompServo = 0, the InflowFile, AeroFile, and ServoFiles are unused (we could have written “unused” in Test14.fst for those input parameters).

Best regards,
