Ashes 3.14

• Possibility to connect Ashes to Python for developping/debugging control systems
 
• RNA database added for easier handlling of RNAs
 
• Possibility to study single blades added
 
• New wind type 'linear' added
 
• New parameters for polar generation added
 
• Improvements in number formatting
 
• More information added to the info panes
 
• Von Karman model added to turbulent wind creator
 
• FE algorithm now uses only absolute convergence
  

2 Known bugs and workarounds

• Turbulent wind generation does not work for multirotor. The suggested workaround is to generate a turbulent wind based on the template models and define the size of the field according to the multirotor model
 
• Rayleigh damping does not work for some models. The suggested workaround is to use mass-proportional damping
 
• Exporting and importing the floater makes mooring lines disappear. The suggested workaround is to add the mooring lines with the 'Configure moorings' action button

3 Bugs fixed

• Some minor bugs in the Xfoil wrapper have been fixed
 
• Some sensors would display inifite values when RPM and wind were zero
 
• Turbulent wind creator was not taking into account tidal elevation
 
• There was a crash when investigating circular airfoils
 
• There was a crash when opening a blade which arifoils were deleted
