Command line tools to create models for composite (wind turbine) blades.
- Building 3D models of wind turbine blades
- Creating a quad mesh for the blade
- Assigning scalable slab based laminate plans to the structure
- Assembling a shell mesh with laminate properties
- Writing mesh information to VTK files
