22  """Wind-sim-suite is a library for simulating wind turbines. The main part 
23  is based on 
24  U{the Python package of MBDyn 
25  <http://mbdynsimsuite.sourceforge.net/documentation.html>} 
26  that provide objects for  
27  represeting abstract quantities: reference frames, nodes and elements. 
28  In this package, specific wind turbine objects are created. 
29  A wind turbine is splitted into 3 components: 
30  a tower, a nacelle and a rotor. The user is supposed to deal  
31  with those objects to start a simulation. The aerodynamic 
32  calculations are performed by an unsteady blade element momentum 
33  (BEM) code written entirely in Python. Two complete models have been written: 
34  the tjaereborg and NREL ones.  
35   
36  The post processing of data is done by the C{windsimsuite} application. 
37  A graphical user interface written in the  
38  U{GTK<http://www.gtk.org/>} 
39  library allows to explore results in 3D thanks to 
40  U{VTK<http://www.vtk.org/>} and plot figure in 2D 
41  with  
42  U{Matplotlib<http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/>}. 
43  That's why the code uses also the  
44  U{pyGTK<http://www.pygtk.org/>} package as well 
45  as the  
46  U{PyGtkGLExt<http://www.k-3d.org/gtkglext/Main_Page>} one 
47  for providing a VTK area within a GTK interface.  
48  As a third part software, 
49  U{Glade<http://glade.gnome.org/>} was used 
50  to design the interface.
