Dear Jason, I am new on FAST and I’m trying to use the seismic fast version in order to study near ground motions effects. I’ve downloaded the seismic archive and tried to launch the examples. I get these two error messages. - when I’m trying to launch the user provided input examples ![udm.png](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/nrel/original/2X/b/b1da0c1ef06ff7c096502c6903b8692188c30b4d.png) - when I’m trying to launch the synthetically generated time histories examples ![syn.png](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/nrel/original/2X/2/2d6fd027d688d54b26d8a8a36f415fad1b457be3.png) Would you know how to fix this ? I have tried several things (change file’s folder, change path) but none of them worked. I didn’t find any post about that on the forum or in the documentation. Best regards, Manon ---

Dear Manon, In the first case it appears that FAST can’t find the file “El\_Centro\_0.0050\_270\_value.dat”. Is it located in the “Examples\PtfmMotions” directory? In the second case it appears that FAST can’t find the file “initramp.dat”, although I see it in your directory. Perhaps try copying the FAST.exe and rspm09.exe executables into the same directory as the FAST primary input file–e.g. in “Examples\1\_NRELOffshrBsline5MW\_Onshore\_udm\_wo\_baseline\_wo\_target” directory for the first case–and running the simulation from that directory. Best regards, ---

Hi, I’m sorry, in the Google drive folder I have found only FastV7.02 archive. Are you referring to this archive? If yes I have not found the files listed in table 1 of the ‘Seismic Loading for FAST’ document (examples folder, UserPtfmLd\_Seismic.f90, etc.). Are they still avalaible? Thanks for your help.

Sorry, but Drive denied the permission to download and now the file seems to be disappeared again. Could be possible for you send me it by e-mail ([ferdinando.scherillo@gmail.com](mailto:ferdinando.scherillo@gmail.com)) or in another way (Wetransfer)? Thanks Ferdinando ---

Dear Ferdinando, Interesting, the Seismic archive seems to be flagged by Google Docs again. I recall another user reported that Google reported that the archive my contain a virus when they downloaded it before. I asked NREL IT about it and they could not find a virus. I recreated the archive, but it still seems to have the same problem. NREL’s firewall will block e-mails that contained precompiled binary executables, so, I can’t share the archive that way. I’m not sure what more I can do. I’m not familiar with Wetransfer, but you could always send me instructions. Best regards, ---

Dear Jason, thanks very much for your help. About wetransfer you just need to go on the website [wetransfer.com/](https://wetransfer.com/) (you don’t need registration), add the file, my e-mail and your e-mail and click on transfer. They will ask you for a verification code that they will send you by e-mail. Thanks again Best regards Ferdinando ---

Dear Jason, I am a beginner on FAST. I am trying to simulate a turbine in forced surge platform motion and I find it not a easy task to customize the FAST code to achieve this goal since the platform motions are solved in a fully coupled manner using Kane method . I noticed you have mentioned in previous topics that FAST has this ability by coupling with Seismic module. Could you also share me the Seismic v2.00.00 file by my email : [yanglin205@hrbeu.edu.cn](mailto:yanglin205@hrbeu.edu.cn) ? Thanks, Lin Yang ---
