Hi Athul,

Thanks for adding this. It looks great so far. Do you need to merge in the latest ctopt? There seem to be a lot of extra changes besides the DFSM stuff. It's possible that the ctopt branch is also behind where you started this. We can discuss tomorrow.

How do we generate this pickle file? What's in the pickle file? Can it be expressed in a readable way?

Hi Athul,

Overall, this is looking great. I have it working locally with the latest ct-opt branch with some minor tweaks. It runs really fast as expected for a controller optimization.

I'm still missing how to make a DFSM model from a set of OpenFAST outputs. You don't need to post the whole set of outputs and test the routine just yet, but I'm not seeing from your documentation how to get started with that. It looks like something involving your Preprocessing notebook and the construct_LPV_matlab script. Can you write up the steps needed to generate a DFSM model from a set of OpenFAST runs?

Thanks for you contribution here. Looking forward to working with it.

Best, Dan

Let's continue the push on DFSM over here: NatLabRockies/WEIS-CTOpt#2

Once that's in good shape, we can merge it back here for FOWTs.
