Instructions for Compiling FAST

Mark.Spring · January 9, 2013, 3:29pm

This looks like a problem with declaring variables, functions and subroutines. I found that it’s critical to get right the order in which the files are passed to the compiler.

Therefore I had a lot of errors when I changed the order of the lines in the DOS batch file (see code snippet below). I have defined some different locations for some of my files, because the code is under development and some source files are in BRANCHES rather than the TRUNK. The order should be the same as in your DOS batch file though.
Also, if you have added any new subroutines which USE variables, parameters or functions defined elsewhere, it’s important that these are defined in a module or file above the file in which they are used.
It’s worth having a look at the first line of output from the DOS window. It may contain a small error, which you can rectify and which will make all the subsequent errors go away. This is because the subsequent errors arise because one of the files has not been compiled successfully and so the variables, parameters or functions required later are not available. There’s limited space in the DOS window and you tend to lose the earlier output when there are a lot of error messages. Try redirecting the output to a text file, which you can open later and scroll back up to the first error returned by DOS. The DOS command might look something like this below (with your path inserted).

Dear Ramzan,

Your output file does not contain all the output. I think this is the case because it only contains a few lines and also you included a screen-shot of the command window (black with white text). What did you type at the command line?

It ought to look something like this.

compile_fast > TemporaryOutputs.txt

Then all the output should be in the text file and the command window should have nothing output to it. The DOS command window will wait a few seconds and then return control to the prompt (once the batch process has crashed).

Please can you try again and send me the text file with the outputs. The clue should be near the top, when the first error was reported by the compiler.

Kind Regards,

Mark

Ramzan.Luhur · January 10, 2013, 11:32am

Dear Mark,

Thanks for the swift reply. I am using command like you suggested:

Compile_FAST DLL>TemporaryOutputs.txt
also
Compile_FAST>TemporaryOutputs.txt

Once again I repeated right now but still same three lines in text file and same series of errors in commmad window (in black and white).

Best regards,
Ramzan

Mark.Spring · January 10, 2013, 11:51am

Dear Ramzan,

Could you try putting spaces around the right arrow > when you type at the prompt?

You could also try changing the line in the DOS batch file which calls the compiler so that it redirects all output to the text file.

ifort %COMPOPTS% %NWTC_Files% %Wind_Files% %AeroDyn_Files% %FAST_Files% %LINKOPTS% /out:%ROOT_NAME%.exe > TempOuts.TXT

Kind Regards,

Mark

Ramzan.Luhur · January 10, 2013, 12:24pm

Dear Mark,

Same results by playing with spaces around > prompt
Same series of errors with empty TempOuts.txt file using

Mark.Spring · January 10, 2013, 12:40pm

I have just found a setting for the DOS command window which controls “screen buffer size”. Could you try to increase the “height” and see if the window can be made big enough for all the output?

Right click with the mouse on the blue ribbon at the top of the DOS command window
select properties or defaults
select “layouts” tab
adjust the height parameter in the screen buffer size group (mine was set to 300, how about asking for 3000 or 10000 or more?)

Kind Regards,

Mark

Mark.Spring · January 10, 2013, 12:52pm

Dear Ramzan,

I have just checked and you are right, if you try to redirect the output from the DOS batch file, you only get the first few lines and then the rest are sent to the DOS command windows as per usual. However, if I change the call to ifort within the DOS batch file, the output lines are all redirected to the temporary text file. An example is attached (successful compile).

Kind Regards,

Mark

TempOuts.txt (1.06 KB)

Mark.Spring · January 10, 2013, 12:57pm

you could also try

editing the DOS batch file and deleting all the lines below (and including) the call to ifort.
submit the call to ifort directly from the DOS command prompt
(a) you would copy the whole line (as below) from a text file containing the DOS batch file (or copy from this posting)
(b) make sure the “focus” of the desktop is on the DOS command window (try hitting return a few times and make sure the cursor moves down the window)
(c) paste the contents of the clipboard into the DOS command window (right click on the blue ribbon, select “edit” and “paste”)

ifort %COMPOPTS% %NWTC_Files% %Wind_Files% %AeroDyn_Files% %FAST_Files% %LINKOPTS% /out:%ROOT_NAME%.exe > TempOuts.TXT

Bonnie.Jonkman · January 10, 2013, 6:19pm

Dear Ramzan,

The ifort warning appears because your COMPOPTS variable doesn’t contain spaces between the various compiler switches. Your code:SET COMPOPTS=/threads/O2/inline:speed/traceback/Qzero/Qsave/real_size:32/assume:bytereclshould instead be:SET COMPOPTS=/threads /O2 /inline:speed /traceback /Qzero /Qsave /real_size:32 /assume:byterecl

However, it looks to me that the bigger issue is these two errors in the NWTC Library’s SysIVF.f90 file:

Apparently your older compiler doesn’t like the “STREAM” access, which is a standard Fortran 2003 feature. I tested this on IVF 10.1 (and it worked) before we moved to the new standard method, but it looks like you have IVF 10.0. So, you can either (1) update your compiler with a newer version or (2) change the ACCESS=‘STREAM’ in SysIVF.f90 as indicated below:

Line 552 for IVF 10.0 >>OPEN( Un, FILE=TRIM( OutFile ), STATUS='UNKNOWN', FORM='BINARY' , ACCESS='SEQUENTIAL', RECL=RecLen , IOSTAT=IOS )
Line 594 for IVF 10.0 >>OPEN( Un, FILE=TRIM( InFile ), STATUS='OLD', FORM='BINARY', IOSTAT=IOS, ACTION='READ' )

Hope that helps.

P.S. Thanks, Mark, for helping to answer some compiling questions!

Ramzan.Luhur · January 16, 2013, 3:46pm

Dear Mark and Bonnie,

Thanks for the guidance and sorry for late response due to undergoing a scheduled minor surgery.
I have tried your suggestions and got rid of very few initial errors specially connected to SysIVF.90 by trying Bonnie’s (2) Option “change of ACCESS=‘STREAM’”. However still getting the series of errors as in text file attached herewith.

TemporaryOutput.txt (36.2 KB)

I have not yet tried with Bonnie’s (1) option i.e. “update your compiler with a newer version”

Best regards,
Ramzan

Bonnie.Jonkman · January 16, 2013, 4:56pm

Hi Ramzan,

The first error in your file now says it can’t open the compiled ModMesh module file. ModMesh.f90 is a new file in recent versions of the NWTC Library, which wasn’t available when the version of FAST you have was released.

I’d recommend downloading an older version of the NWTC Library and compiling with that… the FAST website should tell you what version it was compiled with.

You can also add the ModMesh.f90 file to the compile script, but the library has undergone a lot of changes recently, and you may have to update a few more things in the code to get it to work.

Ramzan.Luhur · January 16, 2013, 6:57pm

Dear Bonnie,

Thanks a lot. It worked now by downloading the older version of NWTC_Library as suggested by you.
The compilation takes 3 to 4 minutes in my case.

Best regards,
Ramzan

Lucia.RicoFdez · April 19, 2013, 7:26am

Hi,

I’m doing my final year proyect. I’m trying to study de forces in the box of a wind turbine offshore. I have to use Fast and ADAMS. First of all, I run a file with the Fast.exe and I get another file with .adm extension that I have to introduce in ADAMS/view. If I open ADAMS with this file and try to run, I have lots of problems with the subroutines.
With the A2AD I run the CompileLinkA2AD.bat and I get de file ADAMS.f90, that I have to compile it to get the .dll that I have to introduce in ADAMS/view. This file, I try to compile it with Force 2.0, but there’s lots of incompatibilities, so I download the Intel Visual Fortran , and the Microsoft Visual Studio 2010. I open de ADAMS.f90 with the Microsoft Visual Studio and I get this error when I try to debugg:

[i][i]Error 2 This number is outside the allowable range for 32-bit signed integers C:\Documents and Settings\Lucia\Mis documentos\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\ConsoleApplication2\ConsoleApplication2\Program.fs 358 34 ConsoleApplication2

I don’t know what I have to do. I don’t know if I have to do other things to can run the ADAMS/view with the Fast files. I don´t know if the file that i get with A2AD is not the correct and I have to find other. I don´t know how to compile well.

Somebody could help me, please?

Thanks, Lucia.

Bonnie.Jonkman · April 22, 2013, 4:35pm

Lucia,

Compiling the DLL for Adams can be tricky because you need to make sure all of the versions of the software you are linking together are compatible. The CompileLinkA2AD.bat script is designed to compile the A2AD/AeroDyn/InflowWind/NWTC Subroutine library (etc) source files and link them with Adams files to create a DLL. You should not compile the Adams.f90 file in Visual Studio.

Which versions of FAST and Adams are you using?

Lucia.RicoFdez · April 23, 2013, 7:26am

Boniie,

First of all thanks. I’m using the Adams 2005, the Intel Visual Fortran 2013, and the Fast, I’m using the last version that you can dowloand.

Other problem that I have is the wind files. When I edit the compile_ Fast.bat I have to change the local paths:

SET Wind_Files=
SET Wind_Files=%Wind_Files% “%Wind_Loc%\SharedInflowDefs.f90”
SET Wind_Files=%Wind_Files% “%Wind_Loc%\HHWind.f90”
SET Wind_Files=%Wind_Files% “%Wind_Loc%\FFWind.f90”
SET Wind_Files=%Wind_Files% “%Wind_Loc%\HAWCWind.f90”
SET Wind_Files=%Wind_Files% “%Wind_Loc%\FDWind.f90”
SET Wind_Files=%Wind_Files% “%Wind_Loc%\CTWind.f90”
SET Wind_Files=%Wind_Files% “%Wind_Loc%\UserWind.f90”
SET Wind_Files=%Wind_Files% “%Wind_Loc%\InflowWindMod.f90”

But when I downloaded Fast with its files, the wind file is called by the turbSim and there isn’t the same files that in the wind files, so I dont know if I have to change everything.

Bonnie.Jonkman · April 23, 2013, 8:52pm

Hi, Lucia.

I do not think Adams 2005 will work with IVF 2013. You will probably have to use an older version of the compiler (or ask the support personel at MSC.Adams if they can help). We use Adams 2008 with IVF 10.1 and/or 11.1. We have had trouble using IVF 12 because the compiler uses some libraries that Adams doesn’t know about when it tries to link everything together.

The wind files mentioned in the compile script are found in the InflowWind archive; they are not TurbSim source files. The instructions in the first post of this thread show you which lines in the Compile_FAST.bat script that you will have to change. You shouldn’t have to change any other lines.

Hope that helps.

Lucia.RicoFdez · April 24, 2013, 7:31am

Thanks Bonnie, it’s perfect that you help me.

When I run de compilelinkA2AD.bat appears the file ADAMS.f90, is this that I have to compile to create a .dll? I try to open with de Microsoft Visual studio, but I have lots of problems so I think that you’re right and the problems is the incompatibility of the programs. Do you know other way to do it?

Thats so much.

Bonnie.Jonkman · April 24, 2013, 4:55pm

The ADAMS2AD CompileLinkA2AD.bat script does several things:

[]Sets up the paths and variables that are necessary when you call the Intel Fortran Compiler compiler from the command line,[/]
[]Concatenates all of the source files that are needed into two files: (1) Adams.f90, which contains all of the free-format Fortran files and (2) Adams.f, which contains the fixed-format Fortran files,[/]
[]Compiles Adams.f90 and Adams.f (using the Intel Fortran Compiler) to create the object files Adams.obj and Adamsf.obj,[/]
[]Links Adams.obj and Adamsf.obj with Adams libraries (which is done by calling Adams 2008r1) to create the DLL (called Adams08r1.dll unless you change it in CompileLinkA2AD.bat), and[/]
[*]Deletes the intermediate files that are created when compiling (i.e., deletes all of the *.mod and .obj files).[/]
All of the compiling and linking is done in this script–you do not have to open Visual Studio at all.

You need to have compatible versions of Adams and the IVF compiler, otherwise you will just be frustrated and wasting time with this. I think you should be able to use Adams 2005, but you will have to change CompileLinkA2AD.bat to use it instead of Adams 2008r1. And as I mentioned earlier, you will need an older version of the compiler (I think IVF 10.1 will work).

If you can use Adams 2008 and aren’t making changes to any of the A2AD source code, you can use the dlls supplied in the A2AD archive instead of trying to compile them.
