Geometry files from OpenFAST to WISDEM

[A-Bou23]

Dear community,

I'm currently working on OpenFAST and WISDEM and I'd like to know if there's a way to convert the geometry data from OpenFAST into yaml files for WISDEM. Meanwhile, WEIS allows conversion in the other direction (from WISDEM to OpenFAST).

Thank you!

Hi,

This script was used to convert an OpenFAST input to a WISDEM/WEIS geometry: https://github.com/WISDEM/WEIS/blob/orcaflex_translator/examples/19_OrcaFlex_Translation/OF2WEIS_input_converter.py

It's not a complete solution, as WISDEM requires a lot of information about the components that OpenFAST does not have, and OpenFAST requires information outside the scope of WISDEM. There are also several efforts underway to incorporate elastic properties into WISDEM as inputs, which may simplify the process, but are a few months out.

I'm not sure if we are planning to release the converter I shared as a fully automated solution, so please consider it instead as a potentially helpful reference towards making your WISDEM input.

Best, Dan

Hi Dan,

Thank you so much, I'll take a look at this.

Have a nice day!
