This release better enables blade and nacelle elastic properties to supersede outputs of the WISDEM modules. It also organizes generator-related variables under a `generator` subsection under the `nacelle` header in the yaml, similar to `drivetrain`. This change means most of the

Minor release with K and I matrices in windIO format, a bug fix in the propagation of the drivetrain torque cost, and some minor changes to run OpenMDAO `v3.38.0`

A number of upgrades for WISDEM 3.20.0: - More rigorous handling of PreComp outputs - GUI visualizes outputs in addition to inputs - More rigorous definition of rotor diameter - New landbosse version - Better documentation for DOE example 13 - Updated list of publications - Rail

The new release: - Builds the docs from the yaml directly thanks to the library json-schema-for-humans - Starts cleaning the screen from messages - Allows to set a minimum pitch - Reformulates the chord slope constraint to avoid unrealistic oscillations during aerostructural desi

Most critically, this ensures consistency with upstream changes to OpenMDAO. Also included are: - Fixes to Region I.5 optimization in the power curve - Removes "pointers" in yaml functions when there is a long sequence of WISDEM optimization calls

WISDEM's use of MPI was a bit clunky and out of date. Meanwhile, OpenMDAO's integration with MPI has improved significantly over the past few years. This update leans more on OpenMDAO, making using WISDEM in parallel more robust and simpler for both developers and users.

(Hopefully) Final tweak in the v3.17 release series that ensures ability to use peak thrust shaving as a control design variable

Thanks to user feedback, it was apparent that the WISDEM-ORBIT interface was outdated and giving incorrect Balance of Station costs. This release primarily intended to fix that error, but also brings along other improvements that were queued for the next release, including: - Dri

Highlights of WISDEM 3.17 are: - Greater ability for the user to provide input values for components to override internal WISDEM calculations. A new case was added to the 11_user_custom example demonstrating this new ability. More work along these lines will be forthcoming. - Not

Hopefully resolving final modal coefficients issues

Still a couple of bug fixes for the 3.16 features including the new glue code, especially for some floating calculations and a reset of the modal coefficients.

Minor missing connection in prior release

This is a release with a good deal of improvements: - Support for rectangular members on floating platforms - More robust input file and yaml reader - Refactoring of glue code to minimize implicit iteration footprint (15-20% speedup) - Improved method for mode shape coefficients

Many backend improvements and bug fixes in this release: - Multiple fixes to the `compare_designs` routine following the enhancements to the composite layer optimization capability in the prior release - Fix some typos in the user-defined constraints introduced in the prior relea

The PR brings in several changes: Blade structure can be parametrized in the thickness of each layer, not only spar caps and reinforcements There are new blade constraints to support inverse design studies (desired blade mass, desired natural frequencies) New example and document

Highlights include: - Better ability to adjust thickness as a design variable - Changes to support the new IEA Wind 22-MW Reference Wind Turbine - Better handling of multiple airfoil polars in the yaml-input file - Remove duplicate code and capability between CCBlade and AirfoilP

This is a minor release that includes: - Careful and methodical improvements to the optimization approach, robustness, and results in FloatingSE. We still strongly recommend floating platform design with [WEIS](https://github.com/WISDEM/WEIS) (in the frequency or time domain), bu

This is a minor release PR with a number of small fixes: - Fix issues with upstream library changes in openmdao, pytest, and numpy that made life difficult for users and the CI builds - Remove moorpy from the codebase as we can now rely on its pypi or conda versions - Output labo

Highlighted changes: - The build scripts that facilitate making WISDEM available on PyPI - Consistent use of pchip interpolation throughout the code - Design optimization of monopiles - Incorporation of LandBOSSE changes for more up-to-date crane costs and a simple transport cost

This release has a bundle of bug fixes. Some of these have been long standing issues, others are new items that have arisen due to backward incompatible changes in upstream libraries. Improvements include: - Improvements in the robustness of the `meson`-based build system that ap

Edits to `pyproject.toml` for conda build compatibility

This release has three main elements: - A new GUI library, [DearPyGUI](https://dearpygui.readthedocs.io/en/latest/), takes the place of `pyside2`. The functionality so far is exactly the same. The benefit of the new approach is that it will be easier to add capability, such as ou

This release is a collection of minor bug fixes and incremental feature improvement. This includes: - Multiple bug fixes around jacket design and cost estimation - Installation robustness with `setuptools` and simpler instructions for new users. There is still future work here to

A follow-on bug fix on top of the changes in v3.6 relating to hydrostatic load calculations and the variable namespace in postprocessing scripts.

New capability around segmented blades and jacket design for fixed-bottom offshore structures has been added. A number of bug fixes, especially in the substructure and tower design, have been fixed.

This release addresses some shortcomings in the v3.5 release related to tower design, conda packaging, and install procedures.

Here is what is new in WISDEM v3.5.0: - Laying the groundwork for design of offshore jacket foundations and other alternatives besides monpoiles - Laying the groundwork for the capability to do forward & inverse airfoil design in conjunction with blade & rotor design - Backend ch

Multiple quality-of-life changes and feature additions to WISDEM have occurred since the last release, including: - Floating platform modeling improvements - Inverse design capability - Multiple WEIS compatibility fixes - The ability to use the INN airfoil design package - Bug fi

Removing unused code causing errors in the conda build

Highlights in this release include: - Many of the features support use of WISDEM as an OpenFAST preprocessor - Addition of DNV-RP-C202 buckling check and set as default over older Eurocode check - Bug fixes in nacelle mass properties calculation - Large expansion in CCBlade deriv

In most ways, this is a bug fix of the 3.0.0 release, or at least inclusion of items that should be have been in the 3.0.0 release. Of note: - The tower discretization has been simplified to avoid duplication of variables and better documented - WISDEM outputs are more easily acc

This release is nearly a complete overhaul of the WISDEM codebase. Significant changes include: 1. Use of 3 YAML files (geometry, modeling, and analysis) for inputs 2. Optional GUI for generating and editing the YAML files 3. Complete documentation of WISDEM and its modules 4. Se

Ensures that the WISDEM master branch can run the finalized 15MW Reference Turbine Design

The design optimization capabilities used for the IEA 15MW Reference Turbine are now publicly released.

This release includes small bug fixes that are needed by the tutorials in prep for WESE 2019

This release will be called on the conda-forge channel for an easy "conda install wisdem" command.

This release brings WISDEM to be current with OpenMDAO2.x and integrates all of the formerly distinct component-based repos into a single tool.
