Compile error.

Hi,

I am new to extensive programming, but have basic knowledge. OpenFAST fails to run as described in the tutorial. See error message.

Dear @Akpodelta3,

Does the ElastoDyn input file, "NRELOffshrBsline5MW_OC4DeepCwindSemi_ElastoDyn.dat" exist in the same directory as your OpenFAST primary (.fst) input file?

Best regards,

[Akpodelta3]

Yes it does

Dear @Akpodelta3,

Can you show how you are calling OpenFAST (what the command line syntax is)?

Best regards,

[Akpodelta3]

Here is the details: folder, PowerShell and notepad

Dear @Akpodelta3,

It looks like your .fst file is indicating that your ElastoDyn input file is one directory back. Does EDFile (line 33) in your .fst file point to the incorrect location of your ElastoDyn file?

Best regards,

[Akpodelta3]

Thank you. Here is the .fst file showing the EDFile.
I have viewed other 5MW folders and it seems like the syntax for .fst files are the same.

@Akpodelta3 , are you able to open and read the ElastoDyn file that OpenFAST is trying to read? I don't see anything obviously wrong with the way the file is specified, so maybe it is a permission issue? Also, sometimes I just copy the file name and paste it into the input file because eyes can play tricks on you--it's sometimes hard to see the difference between some characters.

[Akpodelta3]

Thank you for the support. I have adjusted permission settings and done other things.

I will try the installation on a different computer.

Regards.

Hi @jjonkman and @bjonkman,
Thank you for the information. Apparently, during the extraction of the openfast-main, double openfast-main folders resulted in this instance when it worked. This was noticed while working on the installation with my supervisor.
I appreciate. Next is to study the different information in the documentation.

Regards.
