Configuration File

The spawn.ini file configures spawn-wind to run with the appropriate version of FAST and TurbSim. The options are configured in syntax of key=value with each option on a new line, according to Python’s INI syntax. The possible options in the [nrel] section are as follows:

Option	Definition
turbsim_exe	Location of TurbSim executable
fast_exe	Location of FAST executable
turbsim_base_file	Baseline TurbSim input file (typically TurbSim.inp) from which wind file generation tasks are spawned
fast_base_file	FAST input file (typically .fst) to which all parameter editions are made and from which simulations are spawned
turbsim_working_dir	Directory in which TurbSim wind generation tasks are executed
fast_working_dir	Directory in which FAST simulations are executed. Note that the discon.dll must be in this directory
