Error adding any local tower loads to NRELOffshrBsline5MW_Onshore_ElastoDyn

[Veithh]

Hey everyone, sorry if this might be a total beginners question. I am a student trying to teach myself OpenFast out of interest...
I am trying to add any local tower loads, gage 1-9 to my 5MW_Land_DLL_WTurb. Ive added the chan names from the OutListParameters.xlsx and after running the .fst its updated onto my Matlap ChanName list. Now if i want to plot it, it says "invalid" in the y-axis of the figure. Do I need to change settings in the NRELOffshrBsline5MW_Onshore_ElastoDyn or elsewhere? thank you, best regards from germany

Dear @Veithh,

When you use the local load outputs from ElastoDyn, you must identify the number of tower gage outputs you want (via ElastoDyn input NTwGages, up to 9) and select which nodes you want as output gages (via TwrGagNd, between 1 and TwrNodes). If you use an output in the OutList for an output node that is higher than NTwGages, the output will be labeled as INVALID and the results will be zeroed.

Best regards,

thank you worked out perfectly!
