~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Simple Description:
===================

WindSE is a python package that uses a FEniCS backend to perform wind farm simulations and optimization. Documentation can be found at: https://windse.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ 

Quick Start-Up Guide:
=====================

It is easiest to run WindSE within a conda environment. To install conda check this link: `Conda Installation `_. Additionally, WindSE has been tested on MacOS (Catalina 10.15) and Linux (CentOS 7). Windows is not recommended.

Quick Demo Instructions:
------------------------

Activate the conda environment using::

    conda activate 

Then to run a simple demo, navigate to /demos/documented/Yaml_Examples/ and run::

    windse run 0-wind_farm_2D.yaml

The output of this simulation will be located in the output/2_5D_Wind_Farm/ folder. Use `Paraview `_ to visualize the results in the solutions/ folder. To learn what parameter can be set in the yaml file, head to the `Parameter Documentation `_.
