First of all, I am grateful to the NREL team for developing a tool like WEIS framework. Then In recent months, I tried to install WEIS on WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) and ran 02_control_opt successfully with some of Daniel’s suggestions. I have a short-term goal of applying the methods in this paper (Floating wind turbine control optimization) to NREL5MW_OC4_semi. Therefore, I have the following questions to ask you to give me some advice and help, I will be very grateful to receive your reply.
View the results of simulation (path: \WEIS\examples\02_control_opt\outputs\02_control_opt\iteration_0\timeseries ), here appeared: file format (.p), I use converts it to a python program. And got file with format (.npy) and file with format (.mat), using matlab to open the file with format (.mat), I saw there is a pile of data, is there anyone variable description, description of the unit or description document file similar to outlistparameter. xlsx(for OpenFAST out file)?
2.The parameter named OutFileFmt , which in line 43 of modeling_options.yaml ( path: \WEIS\examples\02_control_opt), can be set to 1/2/3? Can I choose mat file or text file? Will this output format affect the simulation time?
3.The last and most important, I want to know how to apply this method to NREL5MW_OC4_semi. Is this means I should create a file like IEA-15-240-RWT.yaml to describe NREL5MW_OC4_semi FOWT?
The outputs in the pickle (.p) files are OpenFAST time series outputs. The channels are exactly those in outlistparameter.xlsx. OpenFAST documentation may also help.
The OutFileFmt determines the output format of OpenFAST. They are overwritten each optimization iteration, so I save the time series as pickle files here. I don’t have an option to save it in Matlab, but I would encourage you to try if it helps you
Thank you，Dan.
I tried to created a file named NREL-5-126-RWT in \WEIS\examples\01_aeroelasticse\OpenFAST_models but found OSError while running. I checked the error message, and I think it was caused by no libdiscon.dylib in my ServoDyn.dat. Then I tried to run ROSCO to generate this file, but found that ValueError which maybe caused by file version does not correspond to ROSCO version.
Can you give me some advice? How can I get the libdiscon.dylib for NREL5MW_OC4_semi?
1、OSError:

I tried to fix the above OSError, specifically, I changed my setting at line 77 to “…/ROSCO/Test_Cases/5MW_Baseline/ServoData/ROSCO/libdiscon.so” in D:\Ubuntu\rootfs\home\wind\WEIS\examples\01_aeroelasticse\OpenFAST_models\NREL-5-126-RWT\5MW_OC4Semi_WSt_WavesWN\NRELOffshrBsline5MW_OC4DeepCwindSemi_ServoDyn.dat. But unfortunately, it can not work, the same OSError appeared.
I checked the D:\Ubuntu\rootfs\home\wind\WEIS\examples\01_aeroelasticse\OpenFAST_models\IEA-15-240-RWT\IEA-15-240-RWT-UMaineSemi\IEA-15-240-RWT-UMaineSemi_ServoDyn.dat, but found “…/…/…/…/…/local/lib/libdiscon.dylib” in line 77, I’m curious about the DLL_FileName here. And I tried to copy the libdiscon.so above to this path, and resetting the line, but it can not work too!
I don’t know how to solve this problem. Can someone help me? Thank you in advance.
