Hi,
I am trying to postprocess the ‘xxx.1.out’ file generated from IEA-15-240-RWT-UMaineSemi-15MW turbine example - by using OpenFAST 3.5.3 using Driver files.
Is there any change in the output file format for FAST 3.5.3 ? While debugging - I found that the call to the Subroutine ReadR4Ary fails at the read statement and returns a Status of 59. (Figure attached)
The outfile also seems to have introduced “NUL” characters.
Can I know if there is any format change for the xxx.1.out file. Also any possible workaround to read it successfully.
The xxx…1.out file is attached for your reference.
Hi,
I am not too familiar with the driver files you mention but I did find that I was able to read your .out file using MATLAB’s Import Data feature. It does not read the column names perfectly but I guess that is easily solvable. MATLAB converts it into a data table which can be written into a .csv file. I’ve attached the converted file as well.

@Ashok.Jammi ,
That output looks very odd for an output file. What settings were used for OutFileFmt, TabDelim, and OutFmt in the main .fst file?
Hi @Derek.Slaughter ,
Your insight is right.
The issue is resolved now.
This has occurred because there was an uninitialized character variable in the subroutine that writes the .1.out file. This has nothing to do with OpenFAST code.
