Source Code Released

The source code for the current build is available from the downloads page.

We're calling this release 0.6 as we feel we're more than half way there and the software is certainly usable but we've still a few kinks to iron out. In the coming months we will attempt to firm up the code enough to be able to call it 1.0 whilst at the same time adding: new file formats; more validation work; an eddy viscosity model is (in the works); and we hope to add a wind flow module before the end of the year.

Enjoy! and please remember, if you want to contribute to openWind development, don't be shy!
