Incompatible excel sheet generated by `campbell_diagram_data.m` #10

Closed mayankchetan closed 4 years ago

mayankchetan commented 4 years ago

Hi,

I've been trying to generate the Campbell Diagram for the IEA3.4MW turbine.

The Excel files generated by campbell_diagram_data.m are not compatible with the Plot_CampbellData.m function, nor do they match the format described in Plot_CampbellData.m.

Should the Excel which is an input to Plot_CampbellData.m function be manually generated?

Thank you

Hi, @mayankchetan.

Sorry, I didn't see this issue until just now...

The scripts for Campbell diagrams are still very much in their development stage. I've got several versions of them, and there was some lag in pull requests, so it is quite possible that they were not compatible for a while. You shouldn't have to manually generate the Excel file, but you may need to help identify the modes manually. I am finding that it is not trivial to find a method to automatically identify and match the modes across linearization cases that works for lots of turbines.

We merged updates into this toolbox today, so I would suggest trying again. I added an example script for generating Campbells: runCampbell.m. Take a look at it, and maybe that will help.

I did just notice that that script is calling CampbellMatchModeNames.m, which is not in the OpenFAST/matlab-toolbox repo... you can replace it with the commented-out line ahead of it (IdentifyModes.m).

Hi @bjonkman ,

Thank you for the update! I did look at the merge and will try running it as recommended.
