Error when setting the wind profile to steady

Hello everyone,

I was running a simulation on OpenFAst taking a steady wind.
However, i got this error. I can not figure out the source error.
Could you help please ?

i have managed to freeze some dof and i set the wind to turbulent.
It works but it says FF wind array was exhausted :frowning:
Here is the error:

Could anyone tell what does this mean ?

The FF wind file you are using seems to contains about 72 seconds of data. When you generate your turbulence (e.g., in TurbSim), you should generally make sure that the turbulence is generated for a time series at least 600 seconds long. Some of the sample turbulence files in the r-test are shorter so that they do not take up so much storage space, so you should not use them for “normal” operation.

You can regenerate the turbulence in TurbSim and then specify your new file in the InflowWind input file.
