openfast v2.3

Dear Ioannis,

The MATLAB Toolbox was historically updated to support upgrading FAST input files from v7 to v8 and between various releases of FAST v8. But these tools have not been updated to support the transition to various versions of OpenFAST. That said, the input file changes in OpenFAST have only been small (so far). The input file changes are explained in the OpenFAST documentation here: openfast.readthedocs.io/en/mast … hange.html. The HydroDyn input file has not changed between FAST v8.16 and OpenFAST v2.3. Regarding the airfoil tables, if you have “Ctrl” defined after “Re”, this line is now interpreted as “UserProp”.

Regarding the error you are receiving, this doesn’t seem related to an input file formatting error. It looks like there is not enough memory available in your system to store the data necessary to run your simulation. Do you have a large HydroDyn model with many strip-theory hydrodynamic nodes? Are you perhaps using a 32-bit Windows executable (which limits access to more than 2-GB of RAM)?

Best regards,
