All Platform Motion Data (Roll/Pitch/Heave) Export as Zero for OC4 Semi Case
Hello everyone,I’m encountering an issue with the OC4 semi-submersible benchmark case and would appreciate some guidance.After running the simulation, I attempted to export the platform’s roll, pitch, and heave motion time series. However, the exported data for all these degrees of freedom is zero. The simulation runs to completion without apparent errors, and other outputs (like wind speed, wave spectra) seem normal, but these critical platform motions are not being recorded.
If anyone has faced a similar problem or has deeper experience with the OC4 semi case configuration, could you please suggest potential causes or fixes?
I have solved it.
The output data names are ~Trans.~X_g~，**~Trans.~Y_g~，**~Trans.~Z_g~，**~Roll~X_l~，**~Pitch~Y_l~and**~Yaw~Z_l~ rather than Platform Trans. Prescr.X_g which is seted initially and it should be always 0.
