Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
- Starting the simulations with a full wind speed can result in important, undesired transients (since we don't have a static solve and no ways to define the initial blade deflection of BeamDyn).
- Figuring out the offsets of the turbulence boxes can be a difficult and confusing task for new users. In particular, periodic and nonperiodic BTS boxes are placed at different locations at t=0 (see TurbSim manual page 10). (For now, users should preferably use Mann Boxes instead, as there placement is more systematic and tunable using the
xoffsetparameter.)
Describe the solution you'd like
- Introduce a wind ramp to linearly scale the wind speed. For instance, with two parameters: duration of the ramp and scaling factor at t=0 (scaling factor between 0 and 1).
- Remove the logic behind the placement of periodic and non-periodic boxes. Always place them the same
- Introduce a time-offset (or space offset) effective for Turbulence boxes.
