Error reading CompIce in ActiveFloat IEA 15MW model from Zenodo dataset (OpenFAST v4.2.0) #3329

Description

@JittuVinithaJose

I am trying to run the IEA 15MW ActiveFloat floating wind turbine model downloaded from the official Zenodo dataset:
https://zenodo.org/records/4322585

I have not modified any files after downloading.

🔧 Environment
OpenFAST version: v4.2.0
OS: Windows (PowerShell)
Files were downloaded directly from Zenodo without modification
The directory structure appears intact
No manual edits were made to .fst or sub-model files
OpenFAST runs normally for other test cases

❓ Question
The simulation fails while reading CompIce with an "Invalid numerical input" error.

Could this be due to:

A version mismatch between the dataset and OpenFAST v4.2.0?
A formatting issue in the CompIce section of the .fst or associated input files?
Missing dependencies or modules required for this configuration?

I would appreciate guidance on whether:

The dataset is compatible with OpenFAST v4.2.0 as-is
Any preprocessing or version-specific adjustments are required
This is a known issue with this ActiveFloat release

🙏 Thanks
Thanks in advance for your help. Please let me know if I should provide additional logs or files.
