Dear sir,
My junior Ms.Silpa facing following issue, she asked me to put this in the forum, i request please help her
I am running FAST to analyze the NREL 5MW wind turbine in various wind speed conditions. In this model I am using 16m/s stochastic wind speed which is generated from TurbSim without including turbulence. Its shows error which is attached here.Though i have changed gridwidth also.
If I am running with turbulence,its running normally without error. Here with I attached the turbsim input file. I request you to kindly do the needful.
TurbSim Input File. Valid for TurbSim v1.50; 17-May-2010; Example file that can be used with simulations for the NREL 5MW Baseline Turbine
