Warnings meaning while running 5MW_OC4Semi_Linear

Greetings,

I am trying to compile the 5MW_OC4Semi_Linear example file with an AeroDyn15 file incorporated into the .fst file. (I’m using OpenFAST 3.3.0 build).

The simulation finishes succesfully however, I get this warnings on my console during the simulation. Does anyone know if these have any impact on the accuracy of the results and how I can solve them?

Please find attached below the console output and the input files used for the simulation.

Dear @Pere.Palacin,

NREL’s firewall is preventing me from reviewing downloading your input files, so, I’m sure I understand what conditions you are setting that is leading to low TSR and high skew angle warnings. I would not normally expect that you’d get these warnings during normal operation.

Best regards,
