Failed to read simple hydrodynamic load coefficients #1049

Closed brandonmck1010 closed 2 years ago

brandonmck1010 commented 2 years ago

I am trying to run 5MW_OC4Semi_WSt_WavesWN based upon my own properties. I get the following error when run:

FAST_InitializeAll:HydroDyn_Init:HydroDynInput_GetInput:Failed to read simple hydrodynamic coefficients.

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

I am unsure as to why this error is occurring. This is my first time using the software and are currently unfamiliar with the workings. Please find attached the Hydrodyn.DAT file

@brandonmck1010

Which version of OpenFAST are you using? Can you paste the full command line output including the version info?

PS: I made a minor edit to your post to put the HD input file in a quoted block of text for readability.

@andrew-platt see below for the output from Windows Powershell

andrew-platt commented 2 years ago

I just noticed you have 4 lines of property sets in your input file, but NPropSets is set to 3 lines. This is causing your error.

The reason is the input file parser is assuming the line with PropSetID 4 is the header line for the SIMPLE HYDRODYNAMIC COEFFICIENTS section, and it tries and fails to parse the units header line in that section as the data (the parser is not very smart in this regard).

brandonmck1010 commented 2 years ago

@andrew-platt Ah yes, a silly mistake on my part! However, I now get an additional error (see below)

FAST_InitializeAll:HydroDyn_Init:HydroDynInput_GetInput:Failed to read member cross-section properties.

andrew-platt commented 2 years ago

It looks like you may have something strange going on between the MEMBER-BASED HYDRODYNAMIC COEFFICIENTS table and the MEMBERS table (maybe partly in copy/paste into this issue). Check that the first table is formatted correctly.

In general, if you find an error like this, check that the section before it is correctly formatted -- the issue is often due to an incorrect number of entries in the table before, or something incorrectly in the number of header lines before a table.

brandonmck1010 commented 2 years ago

I've had a look and removed the strange line within the members table, the problem continues to persist.

Thank you for taking the time thus far!

andrew-platt commented 2 years ago

Do you have the correct number of entries in the section above?

brandonmck1010 commented 2 years ago

That's it sorted now, another mistake by myself. Thanks very much!

andrew-platt commented 2 years ago

Excellent!
