@@sreenuaits9420 there's a video online which does visualisation of wind data in OpenFAST. Here's the link ruclips.net/video/33IqCq0UnQE/видео.htmlsi=r8i6Lsif_ndDroDs

@@sreenuaits9420thank you for your comment. I'll check for info on Matlab integration with OpenFAST and get back to you.

@@sreenuaits9420 here's the link to Matlab codes for OpenFAST. github.com/OpenFAST/matlab-toolbox I don't use Matlab, and I also think not much help videos are avaliable online of what a practical use of Matlab code looks like. But you could reach out to the OpenFAST community directly at their website. forums.nrel.gov/

@@ashleyhead8422 I had similar problem with my technicians on some occasions, having to convince them to make the needed changes.

Hi, did you follow the instructions in Part 2? ruclips.net/video/JQ3jtXjgfBM/видео.htmlsi=Z2xeriVVAVotyFnu You could also try to download VS2019. But I will check for v17.4

@@catchmentofresources Thank you so much for your reply, Yes, I did try 2019 as well but it does not build the solution, However with 2022 V 17.10, it does build solution without error but there is no .exe file

Hello Dorsa, the IFORT has to do with Fortran. Kindly view the instructions in the video to install Fortran interface for Visual Studio

x64\Release\simclist.obj: not a COFF object, bitcode, archive, import library or resource file FASTlib : error PRJ0019: A tool returned an error code

Hi Salif, thank you for watching the videos. Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with this error notification. But with OpenFAST sometimes troubleshooting errors follow same approach. You could verify that you're compiling with the right runtime environment.

Thanks for the reply. The run environment tip worked. I switched to Linux Ubuntu and it installed without any problems. I am now having to deal with regression tests failing but at least its progress 👍 @@catchmentofresources

The solar mount rows are placed 1.5meters distance apart. This was done after assessing the shading.

The geometric properties may be changed within the Baseline folder. There are some files that contain array of numbers that describe the geometry of a monopile, jacket or an ITIBarge. Editing those array of numbers changes the geometry. Also, if arrays aren't editable then editing of the source code may be required.

How to edit source code?

In baseline folder which file I have to edit?

@@krishnarajkp6732 the source code is in C++. I don't edit source code. Let's hope you can edit the array files in the. Baseline folder and don't need to edit source code. You can also ask your question from the programmers of OPENFAST. They are on github or their website

@@krishnarajkp6732 kindly ask this question by email. akpoviroro1@gmail.com. I presently don't have OpenFAST on my current Computer; the former computer crashed.

Sorry I'm just seeing this message now. Don't know what happened. A CFD application should be able to simulate it for you. Wind speed data can be input to OpenFAST but it isn't straightforward.

Hi, May be an installation of Intel frameworks will help

Changing the velocity values is kind of complex, but if you have wind speed data, it's easier. Check the 5MW_ Baseline folder for Wind folder. You'll find 90m_12mps_twr

Can you send a screenshot? Also, what's the computer details

​@@catchmentofresources Sure Sir. I've mailed you screenshot

@@GhadgePrajakta Thank you. You can see my response in your mail now. It should work fine on your system.

@@catchmentofresources i have the same problem, could you instruct me how to solve the problem?

@@GhadgePrajakta hi, i have same problem, could you please share me the solution? thanks

Hi @riadelhamoud8224, can you give a screen grab of where RAO is required in OpenFAST?

Hi@@catchmentofresources RAOs are not required in OpenFAST. They are computed for a given floater type e.g., RAO in surge, RAO in sway,... RAO surge gives the surge when the floater is subjected to any wave. It's like the transfer function

@@riadelhamoud8224 noted. I may do a video on Response Amplitude Operator, RAO, but since it isn't in OpenFAST, it may not be usable to a large number of people.

Just seeing this message... Can post a snapshot of the problem?

This Part 1 focused on the already built files available from github, which already had the DISCON libraries. In part 2 and 3 there is discussion on building OpenFAST from the source code, where DISCON is also built in Visual Studio and can also be done in CMAKE.

Thank you for watching the videos. Your request will be considered.

Here's the suggestion... ruclips.net/video/eZgm9ITXZBg/видео.html

That was a poor decision from him... So many people were left in hardship along that corridor because he abandoned that project.

Yes, Wike is a good governor for that quality of his... Fashola was a standard too.

The book is for sale... But you can get the software on demo.

Waiting to see the outcome of this project lacks assurance. The government of Lagos need to provide assurances that this project is different from the others. Waiting for 12 years to prove who was right or wrong is dangerous.

I also wish 4 years is true... but experience has shown otherwise.

It is not the best hands of CRCC that are sent to Nigeria... We have seen some of their staff learning some engineering techniques from Italian companies here in Nigeria.

@@catchmentofresources so they will send “not the best hands” to build a bridge that they will FINANCE and have to operate for decades to earn a return on their investment? 🤔

@@therealist2866 Are you aware that in the commencement of the Blue Line railway project, some aspects of the bridge works were contracted out to a specialist company?

Similar to the FBOT for Lekki/Epe expressway which has not been completed. www.premiumtimesng.com/news/143629-lagos-terminates-concession-agreement-on-lekki-epe-expressway.html There's no point putting too many thesis/opinions when it comes to Nigeria's problems.

@@catchmentofresources you’re comparing APPLES with AGBALUMO yet again. Unlike the 4MB’s CCECC and CRCC, the Lekki Expwy’s ARM and LCC are NOT construction companies nor even a construction or engineering consortium.

@@therealist2866 In civil engineering and project management, highway projects are one and the same. CCECC has proven they are fielding low skill employees on both the railway project in Lagos as well as the Lagos/Badagry expressway from Mile 2 to Okomaiko which has also taken forever. JB completed the Orile to Mile 2 section of the 10 lane highway under 1 to 2 years. But CCECC have disorganized the whole expressway Corridor to the extent that JB has had to maintain the road multiple times. CCECC has so jagajaged the whole expressway that people hawk AGBALUMO and APPLES in the hold up their projects are creating. They are not helping us.

@@catchmentofresources so how come the same JB did not complete the Second Niger Bridge when it was first awarded under the Obasanjo administration? You think these construction companies are in the business of doing charity work without payment? Of course, once the FG escrowed monies (from returned Abacha loot) in a dedicated presidential infrastructure fund under the NSIA (the sovereign wealth fund), JB proceeded to complete the bridge without much interruption (other than COVID). Same with the Badagry Expressway and even the Blue Line. With the latter, as soon as LASG escrowed dedicated funds from the CBN infrastructure facility towards the project, the initial phase’s infrastructure was speedily completed. It may not be as simple as hawking APPLES AND AGBALUMO along Mile 2, but it certainly is not rocket science. The primary causation of the delays in the projects you cited (3MB, Blue Line, 2NB) are financial, not technical, capacity, due to the paucity of budgetary allocations (for instance, under Gov Ambode, practically NOTHING was allocated to the Lagos light rail project nor to the Badagry Expressway). Accordingly, to the extent the contractor-financed 4MB does not depend upon the government’s budgetary allocations, those projects you cited are NOT analogous. AGBALUMO may well be colloquially known as “African Star Apple” but it certainly isn’t APPLES. 😎

@@therealist2866 Your conclusion remains; "lets see how it goes"... This is not an assurance. Another 12 years to find out who is right? The aim is for government to provide citizens with an assurance.

Yes... 800 houses is not a small number.

You will see more clips in subsequent videos...

Hi @THEnukemaster11, Deleting files is not necessary. You could always create another folder in the C: drive and name it accordingly. Which will be used for the built version of OpenFAST. i.e make the new folder the current working directory before cloning the OpenFAST from github.

​@@catchmentofresources Thanks a lot! I followed your tutorial and I was able to build successfully (no errors and I got the executable), but I have 1 "skipped" in the last line of the build (it seems you have it too), is that a problem? Also, besides that, the "output window" seems perfect, but if I go to the "error window" it shows 15 warnings (12 of which regarding the first line of the CUSTOMBUILD file of the MAP_dll project, saying "derived data type ... of type ... is not passed through C interface" [or sometimes F-C interface]; while the other 3 have code C4267 and regard the bstraux.c or the bstrlib.c files of the MAP_dll project, saying " '...': conversion from 'size_t' to 'int'. Possible data loss"). Is that a problem and will it badly affect the accuracy of my simulations? Thanks again for your time!

@@THEnukemaster11 It's good to hear it worked for you. I Can't really say why 1 was skipped, it may be due to prerequisites not already installed. Because while building Fast-Farm, none was skipped. Also, regarding accuracy of the simulation... The Reg_test is how to verify that your installation worked out fine. That should be Part 3 of this series. There are existing designed wind turbine system files to which a comparison is done. Thanks for your feedback.

You may also consider deleting the files and building from scratch again. In the user documentation, it says something about the compiler throwing errors in a first step. But when you cancel and restart the build process, everything works out fine.

Furthermore, there are a several .sln files you should build. Discon, MAP, and Fast. Check Part 3 video, more modules were built. No need to build AeroDyn or BeamDyn sln files.

GRACIOUSLY Ooo!
