create_node_radial_pos_from_elem_centres

Define the position of the nodes adn the elements in the blade from the list of element centres

param root_elem_centres_tip:

• First value: Radial position of the beginning of the blade

• Last value: Radial position of the tip of the blade

• Rest of the values: Radial position the rest of the strucutral element centres

type root_elem_centres_tip:

np.array

param num_node:

number of nodes

type num_node:

int

param num_elem:

number of elements

type num_elem:

int

param num_node_elem:

number of nodes in each element

type num_node_elem:

int

returns:

Radial position of the nodes elem_r (np.array): Radial position of the elements

rtype:

node_r (np.array)

Notes

Radial positions are measured from the hub centre and measured in the rotation plane
