Greetings from the OpenFAST development team!
We are happy to announce the release of version 3.5.1! This version of OpenFAST includes many bugfixes and a few improved features. Many of you will undoubtedly be happy to know that there are no input file changes with this update as this is primarily a bugfix release.
Feature improvements included in this release include the ability to visualize Morison meshes as surfaces and lines from HydroDyn, mooring line visualization from MoorDyn, new coordinate systems for nodal outputs in AeroDyn, and more SubDyn outputs (up to 99 members).
