Dear Ali,

Please see the following forum topic for more information on the theory basis of the ElastoDyn module of FAST: [Coupled blade modes in FAST](http://forums.nlr.gov/t/coupled-blade-modes-in-fast/314/1). Of course, FAST has other structural modules e.g. BeamDyn for advanced blade dynamics and SubDyn for substructures.

Best regards,
