This prerelease includes a very large number of changes. Some of the most important are:

  • Structural steps can have a different time step than the aerodynamic one.

  • Multibody solver. This includes a large number of possible constraints, such as hinges and prescribed velocities in several frames.

  • Faster UVLM evaluation (2x at least). More robust Biot-Savart core evaluation and parallel support.

  • Addition of a controller framework for control surface deflection. The example implements a PID.

  • An example of SHARPy being used as a cost function for an optimiser.

  • Improved support for time-domain 3D turbulent fields as an input.

  • Several important bug fixes.

  • Documentation is generated automatically, including the main structure of the site.

  • Improved test suite.
