2 Known issues and workarounds
- Visualising the wind field for a multi-rotor model crashes the program
3 Bugs fixed
- Rayleigh damping now working for nonlinear simulations

- Crash when closing model with Python script after waiting dialog was shown
- Pitch angle was not reinitialised when using a Python script
- Damping loads were not applied correctly
- Interpolation error when evaluating turbulent wind at hub height
- Blade mass was 0 when copying a blade from the database
