Dear Alec,
We are still making progress on the overhaul, but the progress is slower than we had originally hoped. Regarding my earlier post, the interface from path (1) was completed with the release of AeroDyn v13.00.00a-bjj. This version of AeroDyn includes the updated tower-influence (“tower dam”) model, but not direct wind loading on the tower. See the following post for more information: Normal aerodynamic forces on the tower. We are still working on path (2) and will include direct wind loading on the tower in that version.
Best regards,
