About

OpenFAST is an open source wind turbine simulation tool developed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). It builds upon the FAST v8 code, integrating aerodynamics, hydrodynamics, control systems, and structural dynamics to enable comprehensive, coupled nonlinear aero-hydro-servo-elastic time-domain simulations of wind turbines. OpenFAST supports various configurations, including land-based, fixed-bottom offshore, and floating offshore turbines. The platform aims to foster an open source developer community across research laboratories, industry, and academia, providing a robust software engineering framework with well-documented source code, automated testing, and a multi-platform build system. Key organizational changes from FAST v8.16 to OpenFAST include the establishment of a new GitHub repository consolidating glue codes, modules, and compiling tools; updated version numbering; and the introduction of unit testing at the subroutine level.

About

NC programmers use CAM software to create the control code for CNC machine tools. This ensures that a real component can be generated from a digital CAD model as an exact copy. CNC (Computerized Numerical Control) manufacturing technologies such as milling, turning and drilling are used to transform a digital model into a machined component. A CNC machine tool created the component from a stock model, cutters, and NC programs. Important business objectives are to produce components economically, accurately and on time. The strengths and advantages of a high-end CAM software application such as hyperMILL® from OPEN MIND become particularly apparent when complex components need to be manufactured. hyperMILL® NC users have access to a broad range of machining strategies, from 2.5D and 3D strategies and HPC solutions, to 5-axis machining and mill turning. Special applications for impellers and blisks, turbine blades, tube machining and tire machining round out the range of services.
