Input format in WEIS IEA-15-240-RWT_VolturnUS-S_raft.yaml

I have a question regarding the input format in WEIS IEA-15-240-RWT_VolturnUS-S_raft.yaml.

When I looked at the WEIS-RAFT input format, I noticed that the type field is given as a number, unlike the RAFT standalone input format. I was wondering whether this number has a specific meaning.

Also, does WEIS-RAFT support using beam as an input for type, similar to the standalone RAFT format?

RAFT-standalone
- name : pontoon # [-] an identifier (no longer has to be number)
type : beam # [-]
rA : [ 5 , 0, -16.5] # [m] end A coordinates

WEIS-RAFT
members:
- name: platform_member1_
type: 2
rA: [0.0, 0.0, -20.0]

There should be no difference between RAFT-specific input files whether in the RAFT repository or this repository. Likely the file here just has not kept pace with recent changes in the upstream RAFT. Note that when using WEIS input yaml files to call RAFT, the inputs will look like WEIS inputs described here.
