Dear @Derek.Slaughter,
I am currently using ACDC to generate a Campbell diagram for a 2 MW onshore wind turbine model, which I translated from GH Bladed. So far, the simulations have run successfully, and the results look good.
I am now focusing on the structural aspects, and after reviewing ACDC’s requirements, I have a question regarding the input .json file. Specifically, is there an automated way to generate this file? or can you indicate how it should be created?
Thank you in advance for your support.
Ainhoa.
Ainhoa,
I’m not sure what you mean by an automated way to create the .json project file. Would you like a scripting interface where you could perform the same actions as the GUI via command line (setting values, building the analysis cases, importing the OpenFAST model)? Or, given an existing project file that you’ve already configured, would you like to have an automated way to change values? The latter is pretty simple as the file is JSON format and can be loaded with Python’s json module as a dict and manipulated. However, you’d still need to use the GUI to run the simulations and process the results.
I’ve been meaning to develop a CLI for ACDC with the idea that a user could modify the project file in the manner described above and then call ACDC from the command line to run a specific case in the project file, I just haven’t had a chance to implement it.
Let me know what you have in mind and I’ll see what I can do.
Regards,
Derek Slaughter
