Hi Brock,
There are two separate issues here.
1. The Generic System model's calculate generation profiles and nameplate capacity from open cases" (combine cases) feature causes SAM to crash when one of the cases being combined generates a simulation error. This is a bug that we will fix:
github.com/NREL/SAM/issues/1238.
To avoid this issue, run a simulation for each of the cases being combined an make sure there are no errors and that the results are what you expect before using them to create a generation profile for the Generic System case.
2. There may be a problem with the wind resource file you are using that is causing the simulation error. Please verify that the file meets the format requirements described in the "SRW Format for Wind" topic in Help:
samrepo.nrelcloud.org/help/weather_format_srw_wind.htm. If the file is correctly formatted, please attach a copy of the wind resource file so I can help troubleshoot.
Best regards,
Paul.
