Precompiled Windows Binaries
The binary files in this release were built with the Visual Studio solution files distributed with OpenFAST (not using cmake), using
- Intel Fortran compiler 2021 (Update 2,
w_oneAPI_2021.2.0.243) with Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2019 - Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 (C), for build in Matlab
- MATLAB Version: 9.9.0.1857802 (R2020b) Update 7
- Executables with
_OpenMPor_OMPin the name are built with OpenMP libraries and linked with dynamic libraries.- You will need this Intel Fortran redistributable package installed to use these executables if you do not already have Intel Fortran OneAPI 2021 installed. See the installation instructions here.
- You may also need a redistributable library for Visual Studio installed. See instructions here.
The other OpenFAST executables DO NOT require these redistributable libraries to be installed. Instead, they were built with static libraries.
