Version 0.7 released
This new version includes: a simple windflow model; ISO9613 noise model; optimisation with respect to visual impact and noise; improved support for visual impact; drag and drop for opening files; faster optimisation for very large windfarms and lots more.
The full change-log looks like this:
=> Added support for new WRB file format - please contact us if you want to support this format.
=> Added support for masked WRGs (from WAsP)
=> Added import for GeoTIFFs
=> Added new folder layer for organising layers
=> Added Environmentally Sensitive point layer
=> Added mass-conservation windflow model - please use with care!
=> Added visual impact as fraction of horizon in degrees
=> Fixed optimiser so that large layout perturbation time is no longer proportional N! (much faster)
=> Removed 10% wake loss limit when growing layouts (now set at 50%)
=> Numerous other small fixes
=> Added optimisation with respect to visual impact
=> Added ISO9613 noise model
=> Added optimisation with respect to noise limits
=> Changed TurbineType dialog to load turbines from file as new turbines rather than overwriting the current turbine
=> Added abstract base class for layers containing WRGs
=> Added Grid4d structure
=> Added KML camera output for viewpoints
=> Added autosave feature to safeguard long optimisations.
=> Added "Open Entire Directory" menu item for windNavigator deliverables.
=> Added unvalidated displacement height option to windflow model - please use with care!
=> Added drag and drop for files
Please be aware that the wind-flow model is completely unvalidated in this configuration and should not be relied upon for accuracy.
Please report all bugs and crashes.
