Description

Hi, I downloaded the IEA-15-240-RWT model of the UMaine semisub.

I also downloaded the pre-compiled version of OpenFAST 3.0.0 (as far as I read, this is the most up-to-date version that can be used with this model?), as well as the file MAP_x64.dll.

When trying to launch the simulation with the default .fst, I got the following error:

FAST_InitializeAll:FAST_Init:FAST_ReadPrimaryFile:Invalid logical input for file "IEA-15-240-RWT-UMaineSemi.fst" occurred while trying to read SumPrint.

Steps to reproduce issue

  1. Downloaded openfast_x64.exe and MAP_x64.dll pre-compiled from here: https://github.com/OpenFAST/openfast/releases/tag/v3.0.0
  2. Downloaded the IEA-15-240-RWT folder from here: https://github.com/IEAWindTask37/IEA-15-240-RWT
  3. Unzipped the IEA-15-240-RWT, copied openfast_x64.exe and MAP_x64.dll in IEA-15-240-RWT-master\IEA-15-240-RWT-master\OpenFAST\IEA-15-240-RWT-UMaineSemi
  4. Run openfast_x64.exe IEA-15-240-RWT-UMaineSemi.fst

Current behavior

Per the release notes, the input files in the master branch are consistent with OpenFAST v3.3. We are prepping input files to be consistent with the latest OpenFAST release in the develop branch.

Thanks a lot - sorry, I was suspecting I missed something basics, since no one was complaining about this.... Only one thing: in the main page of the github, it mentions, under "Requirements": "Requirements

OpenFAST:

The OpenFAST input files are compatable with OpenFAST-v3.0. This can be compiled [from source here](https://github.com/OpenFAST/openfast.git) or precompiled Windows binaries are [available for download](https://github.com/OpenFAST/openfast/releases/latest/download/windows_openfast_binaries.zip). More information on installing and running OpenFAST is available in [OpenFAST documention](https://openfast.readthedocs.io/en/master/)."

Kind Regards

Maurizio

Thank you for pointing that out! I will remove that line for the pending update.
