Purpose

In cases where the 2nd tower mode is not critical, it's helpful to just disable it. OpenFAST still checks the mode shapes, and if they are ill-conditioned (usually very large, and still need to sum to 1), an error ensues. This update fills those mode shapes with a placeholder input when the 2nd tower DOF is disabled.
