Dear all,
I want to do coupled simulations OrcaFlex (v 9.7 d) + FAST ( v8.12.) using the FASTlink package.
However it seems that the FASTlink package currently available only works with FAST v7 and not with FAST v8, as the errors I obtain show the .fst file is read as a FAST v7 .fst file.
If I am right and the actual FASTlink package available can’t be used with FAST v8, does anyone know if there is a FASTlink version working with the latest FAST release ? Or will I have to get back to FAST v7 in order to carry out coupled simulation ?
Thank you,
Raphaël
Dear Raphael,
As you likely know, our recent release of FAST v8.12 includes an OrcaFlex-FAST v8 interface. As part of the development of the OrcaFlex-FAST v8 interface, we put together a series of sample models (including a model of the OC4-DeepCwind semisubmersible) and updated documentation into a new FASTlink.zip archive (to replace this one: orcina.com/Support/FASTlink.zip). We’ve reached out to Orcina about this to review and approve, but Orcina has not yet released the update publicly. Until then, I can send you an “unofficial” release if you reach out to me via e-mail (I won’t post the “unofficial” version here).
Best regards,
Dear Jason
I am excited to know that a series of sample models (including the OC4-DeepCwind semisubmersible) and updated documentation are put into a new FASTlink.zip(to replace this one: orcina.com/Support/FASTlink.zip).
But I fail to find how to download the new FASTlink.zip that includes OC4-DeepCwind semisubmersible.
I wonder is there any download link available?
Thanks a lot!
Dear Minxi,
I just replied to your post via e-mail.
