OpenFAST with linux #401

caroledaniel · 2020-02-27T09:35:00Z

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 · 2020-02-27T13:41:07Z

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'?

andrew-platt · 2020-02-27T15:30:44Z

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:

Errors while running CTest
Makefile:72: recipe for target 'test' failed

can someone help me with this error?

caroledaniel · 2020-02-27T15:53:09Z

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

andrew-platt · 2020-02-27T15:55:53Z

Did you do make install before running ctest?

rafmudaf · 2020-02-27T15:58:43Z

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 · 2020-02-27T16:14:58Z

@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

1/1 Test #1: AWT_YFix_WSt .....................***Failed 0.20 sec

so how do i install numpy?

caroledaniel · 2020-02-27T16:42:26Z

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

andrew-platt · 2020-02-27T17:26:01Z

That's odd. Does make openfast complete properly?

caroledaniel · 2020-02-27T17:33:25Z

@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 · 2020-02-27T17:36:05Z

@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.

caroledaniel · 2020-02-27T17:51:26Z

@rafmudaf i copied that line 'cmake .. -DBLAS_LIBRARIES="/path/to/blas" -DLAPACK_LIBRARIES="/path/to/lapack"' in openfast/build and it built, what's the next step to be done?
and also can you tell me how to fix this #401 (comment) , thank you

rafmudaf · 2020-02-27T18:15:23Z

and it built

Prove it. Copy the output from running the compiled executable at /home/carole/OpenFAST/build/glue-codes/openfast/openfast.

If there is no executable there, then it did not build. In that case, I suggest reading through the installation instructions carefully as it seems like you've skipped some steps. Specifically, the dependencies section will help with your LAPACK/BLAS error. Then, since you've already downloaded the code, you could move to CMake for Linux.

On installing Python packages, there are a few ways to do as it's dependent on your system's setup and environment. Being that this is a general Linux usage question and outside the scope of support for OpenFAST, you should do some searching on the internet for configuring your Python environment. Here's a good start.

caroledaniel · 2020-02-27T19:37:46Z

is there a directory in openfast another one called openfast? because if so, then i dont have it

andrew-platt · 2020-02-27T19:46:36Z

The executable would be openfast inside the build/glue-codes/openfast/ directory.

From what I can tell in this discussion, you are missing some prerequisites needed to compile and run OpenFAST. Exactly which prerequisites is very difficult for us to know from a distance like this. Is there someone else where you are that is familiar with installing and compiling software on linux that might be able to help (perhaps your professor or another student)? I suspect you will be able to get further with someone helping in person there rather than through this issue page.

caroledaniel · 2020-03-01T08:10:44Z

do i need to have a bin directory in my OpenFAST directory?

caroledaniel · 2020-03-01T08:11:24Z

@andrew-platt unfortunately no. im working alone

caroledaniel · 2020-03-07T19:16:57Z

Hello all , i have this error now with compiling fast v8 on ubuntu 18

caroledaniel · 2020-03-08T17:50:06Z

I also have this problem once i compiled matlab to create the S function:
Error using mex

compilation terminated.

Error in create_FAST_SFunc (line 60)
mex('-largeArrayDims', ...

andrew-platt · 2020-03-16T17:33:37Z

If mex isn't finding the header file, you may need to pass the location of the include directory to it. I have not built mex functions before, but you might find what you need here: https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/58788-mex-compilation-with-header-files

caroledaniel · 2020-03-18T11:59:02Z

collect2: fatal error: cannot find 'ld'
compilation terminated.
i have tried everything and still doesnt work, please hep me

bjonkman · 2020-03-23T17:03:17Z

It sounds like Matlab can't find the linker for your compiler. Did you run mex -setup first?

bjonkman · 2020-03-23T17:06:47Z

Also, if you were unable to find the FAST_Library.h file, please make sure you have read the instructions at the top of the create_FAST_SFunc.m file you are running:

%% INSTRUCTIONS
% Before running this script, you must have compiled OpenFAST for Simulink to create a DLL (i.e., a shared library like .so, .dylib, .lib, etc.).
% - If cmake was used, make sure the install directory is specified properly in the `installDir` variable below,
%   and if using Windows, set `built_with_visualStudio` to false.
% - If the Visual Studio Solution file contained in the vs-build directory was used to create the DLL on Windows,
%   make sure `built_with_visualStudio` is set to true.
% - The name of the library that was generated must match the `libname` variable below
%   and should be located in the directory specified by `libDir`.
% - The `includeDir` variable must specify the directory that contains the following header files:
%   "FAST_Library.h", "OpenFOAM_Types.h", and "SuperController_Types.h"
% - The `outDir` variable indicates where the resulting mex file will reside.
%
% Run `mex -setup` in Matlab to configure a C compiler if you have not already done so.
