Dear Ali,
The first and second flapwise modes are the first two bending modes of the blade (associated with the first and second natural frequencies, respectively).
Best regards,

Re: Simulation of an offshore Wind turbine 5MW based DFIG
Sorry for my multiples asking, but my thesis is based on this code AND I nedded to know these details
Tel me again if some structures of the code are based on finite element method, or what position of this method in this simulateur
Sincerely yours

Dear Ali,
The SubDyn module of FAST is based on a linear beam finite-element approach and the BeamDyn module of FAST is based on a nonlinear beam finite-element approach. I wouldn't call the ElastoDyn module a finite-element approach, although the tower and blades are similar to a finite-element approach in that shape functions (in this case mode shapes) are used to form generalized mass, stiffness, and damping matrices (and geometric nonlinear terms as well). However--as described in the forum topic I linked above: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=424 --ElastoDyn employs a combined modal and multibody dynamics formulation.
Best regards,
