how to use Ex3_FFarmCompleteSetup.py

[clun1]

Hello,

I am trying to use Ex3_FFarmCompleteSetup.py, but I don't know how to set the path in it. Is there any information to explain it? or teach me how to use this case? thank you!

I think there are a couple of mistakes, the templatePath should be a directory. All the files listed below should preferably be in this directory. Your libdisconpath should be the path to the dll or .so file. SLURM is the system used in our cluster so you don't need to worry about it for now. I'm not sure about the turbsim paths, @rthedin can help.

It is likely that we will update this example in the future (I'd like it to be partially tested by our continuous-integration suite).

As indicated by the commented-out lines, templatePath should be a directory, and libdisconfilepath should be the full path to the controller shared object file. In fact, an error is raised when you don't give an actual path to templatePath, with a message saying that the path doesn't exist. Similarly, another error is raised if libdisconfilepath isn't a shared object. I realize that is hard-coded for .so files only, so you will need to modify it to use your dll if you are on a Windows machine.

The TurbSim files are given in the SampleFiles directory, included in this repository.
