i have graphs but some outputs are invalid

[lt72884]

Ok, i now have matlab generating graphs of the parameters from the outlist. So far i am getting some decent results. I have added some of my own parameters from the xls file to the elastodynBDoutputs.dat file and have sucess. However, i have noticed some default parameters provide a graph that says invlalid. Some of the input parameters i add to the out list, end up coming back as invlaid as well. It seems that the pattern is anything to do with force. Kn-m and others work just fine, but anything with newtons or Kn always yields invalid.

Here is a the list i have added to the outlist section:

"LSSGagMya"
"Spn1FLxb1"
"Spn1FLyb1"
"Spn1FLzb1"
"Spn2FLxb1"
"Spn2FLyb1"
"Spn2FLzb1"
"Spn3FLxb1"
"Spn3FLyb1"
"Spn3FLzb1"
"Spn4FLxb1"
"Spn4FLyb1"
"Spn4FLzb1"
"Spn5FLxb1"
"Spn5FLyb1"
"Spn5FLzb1"
"Spn6FLxb1"
"Spn6FLyb1"
"Spn6FLzb1"
"BldPitch1" - Blade 1 pitch angle
"Azimuth" - Blade 1 azimuth angle
"RotSpeed" - Low-speed shaft and high-speed shaft speeds
"GenSpeed" - Low-speed shaft and high-speed shaft speeds
"TTDspFA" - Tower fore-aft and side-to-side displacements and top twist
"TTDspSS" - Tower fore-aft and side-to-side displacements and top twist
"RootFzb1"
"RootMIP1"
"RootMzb1"
"TTDspTwst" - Tower fore-aft and side-to-side displacements and top twist
"RotTorq" - Rotor torque and low-speed shaft 0- and 90-bending moments at the main bearing
"LSSGagMya" - Rotor torque and low-speed shaft 0- and 90-bending moments at the main bearing
"LSSGagMza" - Rotor torque and low-speed shaft 0- and 90-bending moments at the main bearing
"YawBrFxp" - Fore-aft shear, side-to-side shear, and vertical forces at the top of the tower (not rotating with nacelle yaw)
"YawBrFyp" - Fore-aft shear, side-to-side shear, and vertical forces at the top of the tower (not rotating with nacelle yaw)
"YawBrFzp" - Fore-aft shear, side-to-side shear, and vertical forces at the top of the tower (not rotating with nacelle yaw)
"YawBrMxp" - Side-to-side bending, fore-aft bending, and yaw moments at the top of the tower (not rotating with nacelle yaw)
"YawBrMyp" - Side-to-side bending, fore-aft bending, and yaw moments at the top of the tower (not rotating with nacelle yaw)
"YawBrMzp" - Side-to-side bending, fore-aft bending, and yaw moments at the top of the tower (not rotating with nacelle yaw)
"TwrBsFxt" - Fore-aft shear, side-to-side shear, and vertical forces at the base of the tower (mudline)
"TwrBsFyt" - Fore-aft shear, side-to-side shear, and vertical forces at the base of the tower (mudline)
"TwrBsFzt" - Fore-aft shear, side-to-side shear, and vertical forces at the base of the tower (mudline)
"TwrBsMxt" - Side-to-side bending, fore-aft bending, and yaw moments at the base of the tower (mudline)
"TwrBsMyt" - Side-to-side bending, fore-aft bending, and yaw moments at the base of the tower (mudline)
"TwrBsMzt"

Now, when i run the .fst file it works fine, no errors. BUT the .sum file shows that some of these parameters are invalid.

0 Time (s)
1 LSSGagMya (kN-m)
2 Spn1FLxb1 INVALID
3 Spn1FLyb1 INVALID
4 Spn1FLzb1 INVALID
5 Spn2FLxb1 INVALID
6 Spn2FLyb1 INVALID
7 Spn2FLzb1 INVALID

9 Spn3FLyb1 INVALID
10 Spn3FLzb1 INVALID
11 Spn4FLxb1 INVALID
12 Spn4FLyb1 INVALID
13 Spn4FLzb1 INVALID

30 RotTorq (kN-m)
31 LSSGagMya (kN-m)
32 LSSGagMza (kN-m)
33 YawBrFxp (kN)
34 YawBrFyp (kN)
35 YawBrFzp (kN)
36 YawBrMxp (kN-m)
37 YawBrMyp (kN-m)
38 YawBrMzp (kN-m)
39 TwrBsFxt (kN)
40 TwrBsFyt (kN)
41 TwrBsFzt (kN)
42 TwrBsMxt (kN-m)
43 TwrBsMyt (kN-m)
44 TwrBsMzt (kN-m)

how do i make these NOT invalid? Why are they invalid?

thanks.

Dear @lt72884,

Regarding outputs showing up as INVALID, you asked and I answered a similar question in the following discussion: #1627 (reply in thread).

Best regards,
