FAST.Farm #1090

Open Tommi1198 opened 2 years ago

Tommi1198 commented 2 years ago

Hello everyone, I'm trying to run a simulation in FAST.Farm using the NREL5MW wind turbine, but the following error occured:

Farm_Initialize:InflowWind_CalcOutput:CalcOutput:IfW_FFWind_CalcOutput [position=(4980, 4980, 345) in wind-file coordinates]: Error: FF wind array was exhausted at 2 seconds (trying to access data at -406.96 seconds).

Aborting FAST.Farm.

How can I fix it? Thanks a lot!

Dear @Tommi1198,

Have you generated your turbulent wind data file using TurbSim following the modeling guidance documentation: https://openfast.readthedocs.io/en/main/source/user/fast.farm/ModelGuidance.html#inflow-wind-generation? Is the turbulent wind data periodic as recommended? I would not expect that you'd receive an error regarding

FF wind array was exhausted

if the wind data is periodic.

Best regards,

jjonkman commented 2 years ago

Dear @Tommi1198,

I don't see any issue with this InflowWind input file. The issue is likely with the TurbSim wind data file you are using, _90m_12mpstwr.bts.

How did you generate this file from TurbSim and is it periodic, i.e., is TurbSim input UsableTime set to "ALL"?

Best regards,

Tommi1198 commented 2 years ago

Dear @jjonkman, I took this file from the library in GitHub; in addition, I donìt know how to open this file so that I can check if TurbSim input UsableTime set to "ALL". What can I do? Thank you

jjonkman commented 2 years ago

Dear @Tommi1198,

Presumably you obtained the file _90m_12mpstwr.bts from here: https://github.com/OpenFAST/r-test/tree/main/glue-codes/openfast/5MW_Baseline/Wind; is that correct? The TurbSim input file used to generate this wind data file is available in the same directory, _90m_12mpstwr.inp. In this file, UsableTime is set to 60 s, not "ALL". And there are other input parameters in this TurbSim input file that also do not follow the modeling guidance for TurbSim specified in the FAST.Farm documentation.

The TurbSim input file, _90m_08mps.inp, found in the following example more closely follows the modeling guidance for TurbSim specified in the FAST.Farm documentation: https://github.com/OpenFAST/r-test/tree/main/glue-codes/fast-farm/TSinflow. I would start with this example.

Best regards,

Tommi1198 commented 2 years ago

Dear @jjonkman, I changed the wind file using _90m_08mps.bts as bts file for TurbSim, but another error came out:

Farm_Initialize:InflowWind_CalcOutput:CalcOutput:IfW_FFWind_CalcOutput [position=(4980, 4980, 345) in wind-file coordinates]: FF wind array boundaries violated: Grid too small in Y direction. Y=4980; Y boundaries = [-500, 500]

Aborting FAST.Farm.

How can I change the Y boundaries?

@Tommi1198

Your turbine is too far out of the bounds of the wind field. About 5 km away from the center based on [position=(4980, 4980, 345). Is that the correct position for the turbine?

Tommi1198 commented 2 years ago

Dear @andrew-platt, my turbine is in this position: WT_X WT_Y WT_Z
(m) (m) (m)
100.0 180.0 0.0

andrew-platt commented 2 years ago

This is a bit puzzling. What is asking for wind 5 km away at position=(4980, 4980, 345)?

Tommi1198 commented 2 years ago

I don't really know...

jjonkman commented 2 years ago

Dear @Tommi1198,

My guess is your low- or high-resolution domains defined in your FAST.Farm input file have points that are outside the domain of your TurbSim wind data file.

Best regards,

Tommi1198 commented 2 years ago

Dear @jjonkman, how can I see if I have some points outside the TurbSim domain? Because I tried to extend the resolution of the turbine but nothing changed

jjonkman commented 2 years ago

Dear @Tommi1198,

You specify the X-Y-Z extent of the low- and high-resolution domains used by FAST.Farm in the FAST.Farm input file. And you specify the Y-Z extent of the TurbSim domain(s) used by the InflowWind module of FAST.Farm in the TurbSim input file (due to its periodicity, the X-extent of the TurbSim domain is infinite when UsableTime = "ALL"). The low- and high-resolution domains of FAST.Farm must lie within the TurbSim domain (and preferably align with the TurbSim domain to avoid extra interpolation) as discussed in the Modeling Guidance section of the online FAST.Farm documentation: https://openfast.readthedocs.io/en/main/source/user/fast.farm/ModelGuidance.html.

Best regards,

Tommi1198 commented 2 years ago

Dear @jjonkman, I have no idea how to open the .bts file to change the domain of the TurbSim input file...I tried to open it with a program found on the internet, but it didn't work

jjonkman commented 2 years ago

Dear @Tommi1198,

You shouldn't edit the binary wind data file manually. The TurbSim domain (and other wind conditions) is specified in the TurbSim input file. The TurbSim output file can then be generated by rerunning TurbSim.

Best regards,

Tommi1198 commented 2 years ago

Dear @jjonkman, the following error continued to show:

Farm_Initialize:InflowWind_CalcOutput:CalcOutput:IfW_FFWind_CalcOutput [position=(4975, 9950, 340) in wind-file coordinates]: FF wind array boundaries violated: Grid too small in Y direction. Y=9950; Y boundaries = [-500, 500]

So, I enlarged the grid in Y direction and the following error came out:

Dear @Tommi1198,

Can you clarify what you mean when you say that you "enlarged the grid in Y direction"?

Best regards,

Tommi1198 commented 2 years ago

Dear @jjonkman, I mean that, when I had the first error, I read on the guide that the problem was regarding the low-resolution domain, so I enlarged it; then, the second error described above came out

jjonkman commented 2 years ago

Dear @Tommi1198,

Can you share your FAST.Farm input file, InflowWind input file, and TurbSim input file?

Best regards,

Tommi1198 commented 2 years ago

Input file.zip Dear @jjonkman, here what you asked for, thanks a lot!

jjonkman commented 2 years ago

Dear @Tommi1198,

I'm still not sure what is resulting in the access violation error, but perhaps that is the same issue discussed previously: https://github.com/OpenFAST/openfast/issues/1044?

Regardless, I still see that you are not setting up your FAST.Farm discretizations correctly. Just a few comments:

Can you explain why you are setting up your model this way?

By now, you've asked a series of FAST.Farm questions, but you have not followed our recommendations, i.e., to set up your model following the documented modeling guidance and provided Python scripts. I'm not sure how to help if you don't follow our recommendations.

In Windows, the precompiled binary executables have been provided. So, unless you intend to modify the source code, requiring a recompile, you can likely skip steps 1-3.

To run the precompiled OpenFAST executable from a Windows command prompt, see, e.g., https://github.com/OpenFAST/openfast/issues/463.

Dear @jyotrimaya1993,

You received the message "OpenFAST terminated normally". So, there is no issue to be solved.

The warning about the deprecation of AeroDyn v14 is suggesting that you consider upgrading from AeroDyn v14 (CompAero = 1) to AeroDyn v15 (CompAero = 2) because we intend to eliminate AeroDyn v14 from OpenFAST in a future release (expected to happen soon). I'm not sure if you've modified the r-test input files in any way, but when we deprecate AeroDyn v14, we will upgrade all of the r-test cases that use AeroDyn v14 to use AeroDyn v15.

Dear @jyotrimaya1993,

It appears that your OpenFAST model has several errors that that need to be resolved before you can run the simulation. These are the errors reported that are preventing the simulation from running:

ValidateInputData:Linearization is not implemented for the OpenFOAM coupling. <-- To solve this error, either disable linearization (Linearize = False) or use InflowWind instead of OpenFOAM (CompInflow = 1).

ValidateInputData:Linearization is not implemented for the FEAMooring or MoorDyn mooring modules. <-- To solve this error, either disable linearization (Linearize = False) or use MAP++ instead of FEAMooring or MoorDyn (CompMooring = 1).

Dear @jyotrimaya1993,

The "nodal outputs" warnings are just warnings and will not effect the simulation results; you can ignore the warnings. A similar question was asked and answered before--see #573.

OpenFAST is aborting because surface visualization is only possible when AeroDyn v15 is enabled (CompAero = 2). The ITI Barge r-test you are using makes use of AeroDyn v14 (CompAero = 1). Either switch from AeroDyn v14 to AeroDyn v15 or disable surface visualization by not setting VTK_type = 1.

Best regards,

Dear @jjonkman,

Sorry for the late reply, the following is the full outputs. I am confused as it does not say '...aborting' (although it did abort) and it just stops.

Dear @yuangao0916,

I'm not sure what would cause FAST.Farm to abort without an error. Can you share your full set of input files so that I can see if I can reproduce the error?

Best regards,

@jjonkman and @yuangao0916

This may be a bug with opening files for reading and writing. When run in parrallel, I have occasionally seen issues with a unit number for file writing getting issued by GetNewUnit, and another process getting issued the same unit number before either actually opens the file. I think this occasionally leads to strange crashes from the conflicting unit numbers. This should be caught internally and the program should gracefully end, but given the state of error handling in some of the modules (HD, AWAE for example) I shouldn't be surprised it isn't. If this is the cause, we need a long term solution for it.

Dear @andrew-platt

Thanks for the information.

I think this might be the cause, but I haven't gotten it successfully run in the parallel case even once. - I used the same input files and controllers which was ok for the non-parallel cases.

For now, I will focus on the non-parallel once then.

Thank you again.

Yours sincerely, Yuan

Thanks, @andrew-platt, for the suggestion.

@yuangao0916 -- Can you confirm that you are running the precompiled Windows binary version of FAST.Farm provided by NREL (_FAST.Farm_x64OMP.exe, available from here: https://github.com/OpenFAST/openfast/releases) and that you have installed the Intel Fortran redistributable package and running from the Intel command prompt that loads the Intel libraries?

Best regards,

yuangao0916 commented 2 years ago

Dear @jjonkman ,

Yes, that is what I did.

Yours sincerely, Yuan
