Dear all,
I am currently conducting a study on the coupling of the aerodynamic and hydrodynamic of floating offshore wind turbines. I want to establish a fully coupled numerical model, in which the hydrodynamic analysis will use a fully nonlinear time-domain potential flow code, and the aerodynamic analysis will use the Aerodyn code. I would like to use the calling method to utilize Aerodyn (the potential flow code already contains the function for solving 6DOF motion). So, based on the compilation instructions of OpenFAST, I successfully compiled the Aerodyn_Inflow_c_binding_x64.dll and the lib files. However, I couldn’t find a user-level guide or examples showing how to use the C interface from an external program. Currently, I have no clue about how to use this library. Could anyone who have used this library can provide me with some relevant tutorials or minimal example?
I would be grateful for any hints.
Best wishes
