Wisdem

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 fixes for newer versions of OpenMDAO

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 derivatives and testing
- Improvements in using floating platform design variables and structural constraints
- Peak thrust shaving is now available as a user option in the power curve calculation
- Replace pyMAP with MoorPy, a new pure-python quasi-static mooring model
- NLOpt drivers are available for optimization use
- Separated load calculation from constraint calculation so external loads or external checks can be used more easily
- Numerous other bug fixes

This release coincides with a major publicity announcement of WISDEM. This release brings significant bug fixes including:
- Fix of the long-standing bug in the soil spring model for monopiles
- Inclusion of power electronics efficiencies in GeneratorSE models
- Dedicated testing of the rail transport blade constraint
- Simplification of FloatingSE to support the new NREL WEIS code
- Consistency between the modeling options of WISDEM and WEIS

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 accessed from the Matlab / Numpy / Excel output files and described in the documentation
- There have also been additional outputs made available for better integration of WISDEM with OpenFAST
- Other minor bug fixes
