Parallel Analysis of Offshore Wind Turbine Structures under Ultimate Loads
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
This is a useful paper because there is a considerable amount of work required to design a wind turbine support structure and this paper looks at several ways of reducing that workload.
I attach a file marked up with suggested revisions.

Reviewer 2 Report
Dear Authors,
Thank you for submitted your manuscript. Even so I believe that the topic you presented is of interest, I think that the manuscript needs a major revision.
In general, the manuscript lacks details of the models (e.g. DOF etc.) and by far a more depth presentation of the results and analysis/discussion of the data. The second part of the manuscript, where you applied the method to the DTU 10MW OWT, is significantly better described but also here details and results are missing.
