Hi everybody,
I started recently my PhD about drive train system of Wind Turbines.
I´d like to use Fast as Pre-processor and integrate my own drive train models in Adams. Therefore I used one of the sample model input files and created the Adams model, worked.
I can compile A2AD code with my compiler…
my compiler setting are: /c /O1 /automatic /Ob2 /MD /Gm /traceback /Qzero /Qsave /real_size:32 /assume:byterecl /Qdiag-disable:5268
and link it with Adams but when I´d like to run it (mdi.bat->ru-user: ADAMS10.dll+test01_ADAMS.acf), I am getting an error, see in the attachment. I could see that this problem is also mentioned in the forum (Results comparison ADAMS and FAST - #9 by Justin.Madsen) but I can´t find a solution for it?!
Can you help me with that?
My Software:
MD ADAMS x64 2010 or
ADAMS x64 2011
Visual Studio 2008
Intel Visual Fortran Compiler XE 2011
or Fortran Compiler 11.1
Kind Regards,
Stephan
Hi, Stephan.
By default, Adams 2010 uses its C++ solver, while previous versions defaulted to its FORTRAN solver. The INFARY() and INFFNC() routines used in the current version of A2AD do not work in the C++ solver.
You can change the solver by going to the “Adams - Settings” shortcut (Start/All Programs/MSC.Software/{Adams version}/), which will open an Adams Registry Editor. Go to ASolver/Preferences and set “soverSelection” to “F77”. While you are there, also check that “memSize” is set to “huge” to avoid other errors when you run some simulations.
Hope that helps!
Hi Bonnie,
thank you again for your reply!
I managed now to run the code with MD ADAMS x64 R3, Intel Visual Fortran Compiler 11.1 x64, because everything I tried on MD ADAMS 2010-2011 was not successful. I had to activate the code fragment within A2AD_Mod.f90 for ADAMS 11, see below.
Another little notice I´d like to mention here is that one has to switch to MKS- Units (default in my case: MMKS) when importing the *.adm- file, otherwise Adams crashes without any error.

Hello,
I am also working with A2AD and trying to create the ADAMS dll file. I modified the batch file as shown below. I’m using MD ADAMS R3 2008 and Intel Visual Fortran compiler version 11.0.074. When I run the batch file the codes compile with no errors, but when it gets to the linking part of ADAMS2AD with AeroDyn, it gives some link errors (unresolved external symbols) and the dll file does not get created. The image shows the errors I’m getting. I was wondering if anyone had an issue with linking these codes together.

Hi,
If you are getting errors related to trig functions in the linking stage, you can try compiling with the optimization option set to /O1 (change /Ob2 in variable COPTS to /O1). See this post for details: Results comparison ADAMS and FAST
Regards,
Thanks Bonnie. I changed /ob2 to /O1 and the dll has been built.
Hi Again
I had another question regarding A2AD dll interface. I want to connect the GH bladed interface to what I’m compiling to run 5MW NREL turbine with ADAMS. So I guess I have to involve the BladedDLLInterface.f90 into the batch file that I’m using and with the same way that we compile FAST comment out some of the subroutines from usersubs.f90 and UserVSCont_KP.f90 and remove PitchCtrl_ACH.f90 from the batch file. What I have in the CompileLinkA2AD.bat for the FAST codes part looks like this:
SET FAST_Files=
SET FAST_Files=%FAST_Files% "%FAST_Loc%\UserSubs_forBladedDLL.f90"
SET FAST_Files=%FAST_Files% + "%FAST_Loc%\UserVSCont_KP_forBladedDLL.f90"
SET FAST_Files=%FAST_Files% + "%FAST_Loc%\FFTMod.f90"
SET FAST_Files=%FAST_Files% + "%FAST_Loc%\HydroCalc.f90"
SET FAST_Files=%FAST_Files% + "%FAST_Loc%\BladedDLLInterface.f90"
There are some errors in compiling the program (First one being: check INCLUDE paths [OUTPUT]) using the top files so the dll will not be created. I added the FAST_Mods.f90 which has the output module but encountered some other errors. Has anyone done this before? Is there a specific order for compiling the FAST Files with bladed interface? I saw the posts in the forum (5MW Onshore Baseline Windturbine simulated by ADAMS) but the problem does not get solved.
Thanks in advance,
Amin.
To compile A2AD with the Bladed dll interface option, you can try using the batch script here: wind.nrel.gov/public/bjonkman/De … 1a-bjj.bat.
See this topic for more information: Compile A2AD with Bladed-DLL Interface
Hi Friends,
During running A2AD to build dll file, when it receives to linking stage the following error appears in prompt command window:
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file “ADAMS10.dll”
Here is my A2AD.bat file container:
A2AD.txt (5.8 KB)
Note I am using Windows 7 x64 and IVF v11.066 compiler, MD ADAMS 2010 x64 and I installed ADAMS after installing IVF.
Could anybody help me to solve this problem? Or is there anybody that have faced with such issue?
Thanks
Mehdi,
From the error message you posted, I would guess that the Adams10.dll file is protected so it cannot be overwritten. You could verify this by trying to delete the file manually.
If you can’t unprotect the file (try rebooting), you could also change the .bat script to write to a different file name.
Dear Bonnie,
Thanks to your reply.
That problem solved by removing Adams 2010 64bit and installing MD ADAMS 2010, because my IVF was 32bit. Forget that problem.
Below statements are for my last effort.
Followings are whole things that i did to create dll file,
1.Go to C:\Design Codes\A2AD\DLL
2.I modify the CompileLinkA2AD.bat file as attached.
CompileLinkA2AD.txt (5.79 KB)
3.Run the CompileLinkA2AD.bat file by double click on it. Then I faced with tons of errors like these:
ADAMS.f90<112>: error #7002: Error in opening the compiled module file. Check INCLUDE path. [IFPORT]
4.Then I copied the ifport.mod and ifport_types.mod files from C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Compiler\11.0\066\fortran\include\ia32 and paste them in C:\Design Codes\A2AD\DLL , then run the CompileLinkA2AD.bat file again, but this time the errors have changed as below:
link : fatal error LNK1181 : cannot open input file ‘libifcoremd.lib’
I found that this file is in C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Compiler\11.0\066\fortran\Bin\IA32.
I copied ‘libifcoremd.lib’ and then paste it in my working folder that my CompileLinkA2AD.bat is there (for example C:\Design Codes\A2AD\DLL) but the error persists as well.
I searched internet for this error but I saw different opinions and advices, I do some of them but the mentioned error also persists.
For example one have said that you must change /Ob2 / to /O1/ in compiler option. I did so, but the error did not disappear.
Note I am using Windows 7 64-bit and IVF v11.066 32-bit compiler, MD ADAMS 2010 32-bit and I installed ADAMS after installing IVF.
I dont know what I must to do?
Actually Your help is vital for me. And will be so appreciable.
All the Best,
Mehdi
After you run the IFORTVARS.bat file, I would think “C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Compiler\11.0\066\fortran\include\ia32” should be in your INCLUDE path. Apparently it is not (or perhaps IFORVARS.bat was not run properly), because you should NOT have to copy files from the compiler folders into your working directory.
I suggest you contact the support at MSC Software to help you figure out the various error you are getting.
Dear Bonnie,
After 4 days running the A2AD batch file, I finally found out that there must be a blank space between “” and CALL in (IF “%INTEL_SHARED%”==“” CALL %IVF_LOC%..\ifortvars.bat ia32) statement.
After implementing that, the dll file was created with no errors.
Your comment helped me to find that out. Thank you.
Mehdi,
