Visual Studio builds for Windows

The following solution files are available for code development on Windows using the Intel Fortran compiler with Visual Studio.

• OpenFAST This contains builds for both the command-line OpenFAST executable as well as the DLL for use with the OpenFAST-Simulink interface.
• FAST.Farm This contains the build configurations for FAST.Farm.
• Module-level drivers:
  • AeroDynamics:
    • AeroDyn driver
    • UnsteadyAero driver
  • Structural:
    • BeamDyn driver
    • SubDyn driver
  • Wind/Wave conditions:
    • TurbSim Generates wind files
    • InflowWind driver Reads and interpolates existing wind files
    • InflowWind c binding Creates a library (DLL/so) of the InflowWind routines that can be called from a C interface. TO DO: Combine this with InflowWind driver for easier maintenance
    • HydroDyn driver
• Other:
  • Discon This solution file contains all 3 controllers used in the OpenFAST r-test (with the NREL 5MW model). It also contains the controller used with the FAST.Farm super-controller.
  • SC_DLL This solution file builds a template supercontroller to be used with FAST.Farm.
  • OpenFAST Registry The Registry project is included in almost every other solution file, so this solution file is only for debugging changes to the OpenFAST Registry.
