how to get precursor case of ABLterrian case #40

Hi rthedin

when I prepare to run the case 'tut.ABLterrain' in SOWFA-6/exampleCases, I find it need a precursor named '~/OpenFOAM/rthedin-6/run/precursor/neutral.W.5at80.5dTInv.0p05z'. so, could you please share this precursor case or give me some information about how to creat a precursr case. Thanks a lot.

You do not have to have a precursor for a terrain simulation. The options are commented out in the tutorial script: https://github.com/NREL/SOWFA-6/blob/481fa37b493f51b3b5471c037c3ce46e72d79839/exampleCases/tut.ABLterrain/1_preprocess#L24

But, if you do choose precursor, you have to give a precursorDir. You can execute one yourself using the precursor tutorial. I recommend executing the precursor with the same domain limits and resolution as the intended complex terrain case.

You can initialize the internal domain with tables by using setFieldsABL, or, for testing purposes, none.

Hope it helps.
