Closed mocominnie closed 1 year ago

mocominnie commented 1 year ago

Hi,

I'm trying to run the 15MW reference turbine (on ubuntu) but encounter the error below. I'm not entirely sure what's happening as I followed the install instructions in the docs. For some reason it seems to work ok my mac.

Thanks for your help.

OpenFAST input file heading: IEA 15 MW offshore reference model on UMaine VolturnUS-S semi-submersible floating platform

Running ElastoDyn. Nodal outputs section of ElastoDyn input file not found or improperly formatted. Running AeroDyn.

FAST_InitializeAll:AD_Init:ParsePrimaryFileInfo:ParseLoVar:

A fatal error occurred when parsing data from "./IEA-15-240-RWT_AeroDyn15.dat". The variable "Buoyancy" was not found on line #13.

OpenFAST encountered an error during module initialization. Simulation error level: FATAL ERROR

Aborting OpenFAST.

This is just an issue with OpenFAST changing their input file formatting in the recently released v3.4. The files in the develop branch are consistent with the latest release. In the short-term, I would recommend using the files in that branch. We will hopefully bring those changes into the master branch soon.
