Mar 1, 2025March 2025: Exawind/openturbine delivered NetCDF-based output capability and build-system integration, expanded testing for curved beam elements, and quality improvements across the codebase. NetCDF outputs for simulation data are now supported and the NetCDF package discovery is robust (FindNetCDF.cmake, cmake logic compatible with Spack). An explicit output path control was added via InterfaceBuilder. Static analysis addressing clang-tidy/cppcheck warnings has improved correctness. The curved beam math validation suite was extended with unit tests for Jacobians, tangents, and force calculations, enhancing reliability for structural components. These changes improve data interoperability, reproducibility, and maintainability, and reduce downstream integration risk.
