OpenFAST with linux

[caroledaniel]

Hello im very new to OpenFAST and linux, im using ubuntu 18, this is my graduation project so please help me. i need to run OpenFAST on the terminal then on simulink. i only installed OpenFAST. Otherwise there's nothing working. if someone could help me ,please do so

I doubt I can help with problems on Linus / Ubuntu, but I would suggest to at least summarize what issue(s) you are running into. Saying "there's nothing working" doesn't provide many clues as to the problem(s).

[caroledaniel]

Okay, so i installed OpenFast by cloning the link and i built all the files. coming to cloning the test files, in which directory should i clone them? in 'home' or in 'openfast'?

I'm guessing you have already looked at the documentation on https://openfast.readthedocs.io. If not, take a look at these directions:
https://openfast.readthedocs.io/en/dev/source/install/index.html#compile-from-source

Then to compile the tests:
https://openfast.readthedocs.io/en/dev/source/testing/index.html (note the tip here on cloning the test files)
https://openfast.readthedocs.io/en/dev/source/testing/regression_test.html#executing-with-ctest

Note that the above documentation contains information for multiple scenarios. So you will need to read it carefully to find what applies to your configuration.

The simulink build will be more complicated. There are a couple previous questions regarding how to build with simulink that you may find helpful:

• Create Simulink s-Function with mex #289
• Conv_Rdtn and glue code in HydroDyn + FAST #189

Errors while running CTest
Makefile:72: recipe for target 'test' failed
make: *** [test] Error 8
can someone help me with this error?

[caroledaniel]

@andrew-platt thank you. yes i've read them but im still a little confused with such error like the above one.

[andrew-platt]

Did you do make install before running ctest?

[rafmudaf]

Also, just run a single test with verbose output

ctest -V -R AWT_YFix_WSt

My bet is you don't have numpy installed...

[caroledaniel]

@andrew-platt yes i executed this step, and yes @rafmudaf , i guess the problem is numpy is uninstalled according to this:
1: Test command: /usr/bin/python3 "/home/carole/OpenFAST/reg_tests/executeOpenfastRegressionCase.py" "AWT_YFix_WSt" "/home/carole/OpenFAST/build/glue-codes/openfast/openfast" "/home/carole/OpenFAST/reg_tests/.." "/home/carole/OpenFAST/build/reg_tests/glue-codes/openfast" "0.00001" "Linux" "GNU"

1: import numpy as np
1: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'numpy'
1/1 Test #1: AWT_YFix_WSt .....................***Failed 0.20 sec

so how do i install numpy?

[caroledaniel]

also i have this error while executing beamdyn_utest :
OpenFAST/build/unit_tests$ make beamdyn_utest

make[3]: *** No rule to make target '/path/to/lapack', needed by 'modules/nwtc-library/libnwtclibs.so'. Stop.

[andrew-platt]

That's odd. Does make openfast complete properly?

[caroledaniel]

@andrew-platt when i make openfast , it gives me the same error as beamdyn_utest:
make[2]: *** No rule to make target '/path/to/lapack', needed by 'modules/nwtc-library/libnwtclibs.so'. Stop.

[rafmudaf]

@caroledaniel It looks like you simply copied the command in this section of the documentation. However, be sure to follow the instruction after that command...

The paths given should be to the directory which contains the libraries, not to the libraries themselves.

In this case, path/to/lapack is a placeholder that you need to configure yourself for the correct path on your system. Did you install lapack and blas? If so, how did you do so? If you used apt, you could Google for the default install location of packages using that package manager.
