Hi everyone, fast farm aborts but without any kind of error...what is the problem? Here what the program shows to me:

Hi @Tommi1198,

Can you share the full message written to the command window when running FAST.Farm? Can you also share your FAST.Farm input file?

Best regards,

[Tommi1198]

Dear @Tommi1198,

I'm not sure why FAST.Farm is aborting without issuing an error. Does the OpenFAST model with the ROSCO controller you are using run without error when you are simulating with standalone OpenFAST, uncoupled from FAST.Farm?

Regardless, I do see issues with your FAST.Farm model. A low- and high-resolution domain spatial resolution of 100 m is not not suitable for the DTU 10-MW reference wind turbine. Likewise, a radial spacing of 150 m in the polar grid of the wake planes is not suitable for the DTU 10-MW reference wind turbine. And your wind turbines are not placed within the low- and high-resolution domain boundaries. I would recommend following the modeling guidance provided in the online FAST.Farm documentation to set up your FAST.Farm model: https://openfast.readthedocs.io/en/main/source/user/fast.farm/ModelGuidance.html.

Best regards

[Tommi1198]

Dear @jjonkman , yes, the OpenFAST model with the ROSCO controller I am using run without error when I am simulating with standalone OpenFAST, uncoupled from FAST.Farm

Now I will try to fix the low and high resolution domain and the radial spacing
Thank you very much

 Aborting FAST.Farm.

What can I do? I don't know how to set the resolution so that this do not occur

[jjonkman]

Dear @Tommi1198,

The wind turbines must reside within the low- and high-resolution domains of FAST.Farm In your case, they are not. For example, T1 is located at (X,Y,Z) = (5,5,0) m, but the lowest corner of the low- and high-resolution domains starts at (0,0,0) m, so, the blades will extend outside the boundaries. Moreover, T2 is located at (20,5,0), only 15-m downstream of T1. I would not say that you are following the provided modeling guidance.

Best regards
