get_tilt_max_L3

Derive the (instantaneous) max platform tilt angle for each OpenFAST simulation.

This function:

  • reads simulation output (usually .outb files),

  • extract the platform roll (PtfmRoll) and platform pitch (PtfmPitch) time signals,

  • derive from roll and pitch the total platform tilt signal, as \(tilt = \sqrt{PtfmRoll^2 + PtfmPitch^2}\)

  • pick the (instantaneous) max of the platform tilt signal
