Problem with MAP++ and python work in standalone

[salicto]

Hello,

I am not familiar with python language. I'm trying to get Map++ to work on python but I had trouble getting it to work standalone. I attach with this message the two Python files necessary for the operation of MAP++. I get a name type error "ModelData_Type' is not defined". This error comes from the mapsys.py file. I use the python files available on the MAP++ documentation https://map-plus-plus.readthedocs.io/en/latest/python_example.html I don't quite understand because I haven't touched this file. If I understood correctly it is just used to load the DLL library. Any help will be welcome...

Thanks in advance PythonFile.zip ,

Referring this question to @mmasciol, the original author of MAP++ and part time maintainer of the code. The documentation refers to MAP++ archive on BitBucket, which is outside of the NREL maintained OpenFAST repository (it may be different and therefore incompatible with the OpenFAST version of MAP++).

@salicto, I assume you have looked at https://map-plus-plus.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html

@rafmudaf, I hadn't realized there was another readthedocs for MAP++. Is this something we want to port over to the OF documentation for MAP++ (assuming compatibility)?

Hello M. Platt,

Yes I have. The code python loads correctly the MAP++ module. I use Spyder with python 3.8. I have a error in line 141 from mapsys.py file. I did not modify the file. I took it as it is. I only modify the path to load the dll file.

Best Regards,

It's probably better to link to the MAP++ documentation through the OpenFAST docs. Otherwise, there would be two versions of the same and eventually they could get out of sync.
