@rthedin and I were exploring an issue with grid dependency of the Generator power for SWT 93 m 2.3 MW wind turbine at WFIP2 site. After discussing with @mchurchf we narrowed down the issue to the WakeMod parameter in the Aerodyn input file. WakeMod should be set to 0 for AMR-Wind simulations and is set to 1 for stand-alone OpenFAST simulations. When a user moves an Aerodyn input file from stand-alone OpenFAST to AMR-Wind + ALM there are times that he might forget to change this parameter. Is it possible to have a check before running expensive ALM simulations that WakeMod = 0 or throw an assertion error?
