  1. can I ask you guys why the error in the picture occurs when I run now with the ballast water removed from the hydrodyn and without considering the weight and moment of inertia of the ballast water in the elastodyn file?
    My aim is to remove the effect of ballast and only consider the action of the platform and tower blades, i.e. no ballast, nothing inside the platform, just a platform alone.
  2. how should I derive the moment of inertia and the centre of mass of the platform if I reconstruct the ballast distribution and mass myself?
    Thank you all for being able to answer this for me!

Dear @HANloading,

Regarding (1), the water ballast in the OC4-DeepCwind semisubmersible provides a lot of weight to keep the floating wind system hydrostatically stable. By removing this ballast, my guess is that the floating system is no longer hydrostatically stable, resulting in an unstable OpenFAST response.

Regarding (2), if you want to neglect modeling the ballast water in HydroDyn, you should move the associated mass and inertia to ElastoDyn. The OC4-DeepCwind specifications report (https://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy14osti/60601.pdf) provides the equivalent lumped mass, center of mass, and inertias in Table 3-3, which you should use to update the values of PtfmCMzt, PtfmMass, PtfmRIner, PtfmPIner, and PtfmYIner in ElastoDyn.
