upload output file to matlab

[falascao]

Dear openfast team, i wanted to ask you what's the procedure to upload the output file generated from the openfast simulation in Matlab. Thank you

Dear @falascao,

See MATLAB Toolbox functions ReadFASTtext.m for ASCII-formmated OpenFAST output files or ReadFASTbinary.m for binary-formatted OpenFAST output files: https://github.com/OpenFAST/matlab-toolbox/tree/main/Utilities.

Best regards,

Dear @jjonkman, i had download the matlab toolbox folder and i set his path in Matlab; but when i try to open openfast's files like .out and .outb, Matlab open the file in text mode. Doing that, the matlab's workspace is empty and don't load the data.

Best regards and thank you for your help.

Dear @falascao,

I'm not sure what you mean when you say:

Can you clarify or share a screenshot of the issue?

Best regards,

To read the files, you need to use the functions Jason mentioned. For example, to read the binary .outb file, you call [Channels, ChannelNames, ChannelUnits] = ReadFASTbinary('5MW_OC4Semi_Linear.outb') from the Matlab command window, and the data from the file will be stored in the function's output variables.

Everything works perfectly. Thank you so much for your support. Best regards
