Installation guidelines
To use WIFA, there are few prerequisites that need to be installed.
The prerequisites are the embeded tools, their required packages, and a windIO fork containing the modifications that were necessary to parameterize the wind farm flow. These will ultimately be merged to the main windIO package.
Except for windio, each of the modelling tools can be installed independently. If you don’t install one of them, you simply need to comment the concerned “import” in the main_api script after copying it for use.
WindIO
Clone this windIO fork, and add it to your python path.
FOXES
The installation of FOXES is described here in the documentation.
For the latest relase, run (for conda consult the link above):
pip install foxes
For the latest developments, clone and install the dev branch from github:
git clone git@github.com:FraunhoferIWES/foxes.git@dev
cd foxes
pip install -e .
code_saturne and salome
code_saturne and salome should be installed independantly, prior to using code_saturne through the FLOW api.
code_saturne, source code and prerequisites for version 8.0 can be found using this link, namely the github repository with a python script for semi-automated installation with detailed instructions.
For salome, it can be built in two ways:
stand alone direct download
building the salome_cfd extension
Once installed, you will need to specify to the flow api where the executables are. This can be done by modifying flow_api/cs_api folder/ __init__.py script as follows:
#required: add your path to cs exe
cs_exe_path = "$YOUR_PATH_TO/code_saturne"
#required: add your path to salome exe
salome_exe_path = "$YOUR_PATH_TO/salome"
This script also allows to define different environment commands to allow flexibility. For example, if a conda enviroment is necessary on your cluster to be able to run salome, this can be added as:
#optional : add any environment that must be loaded to run salome
salome_env_command = "module load Miniforge3 && conda activate myenv"
