About the current state of this tool

[AlexGuntner]

Dear all,

is the adapter still being developed and what is its current state?

I have read @LeonardWilleke technical report from December 2023 and was wondering if any further developments have been made since then.

I am a master's student at Delft University of Technology and am considering using this tool for ALM-LES simulations of floating wind turbines as part of my thesis. Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards.

Hi @AlexGuntner 👋

There has not been any development on the adapter from the preCICE team since the work of @LeonardWilleke.

If you continue the development, it would be great if you could directly continue here or contribute back. We are, obviously, happy to help concerning any preCICE questions, but our internal OpenFAST expertise is still limited.

Greetings from the OpenFAST team! It's great to see you are using OpenFAST in your CFD work. If you have questions regarding coupling to OpenFAST, feel free to reach out on our GH page, or tag one of us here.

A quick bit of news from our side:

• we are continuing to support the v3.5 series as we can with bug fixes. So if you encounter an issue, let us know. We don't have a lot of resources to help, but might be able to fix minor issues and post a bugfix release (v3.5.5 is the current 3.5 bugfix version)
• OpenFAST 4.0 was released earlier this year (bugfix version v4.0.4 was released last week). This is a different API than v3.5
• OpenFAST 4.1 is coming in the next 6 weeks -- same API for CFD coupling as v4.0.x
• OpenFAST 5.0 is coming later this year -- only minor API changes from v4.x

Regards,
