# Introduction
The Wind Energy Toolbox (or ``wetb``, pronounce as wee-tee-bee) is a
collection of Python scripts that facilitate working with (potentially a
lot) of HAWC2, HAWCStab2, FAST or other text input based simulation
tools.
The Wind Energy Toolbox (or ```wetb```, pronounce as wee-tee-bee) is a collection
of Python scripts that facilitate working with (potentially a lot) of HAWC2,
HAWCStab2, FAST or other text input based simulation tools.
Note that this toolbox is very much a WIP (work in progress). For example,
some of the functions in the [prepost](#prepost) module have a similar functions
in [Hawc2io](wetb/hawc2/Hawc2io.py). These different implementations will be
merged in due time.
Note that this toolbox is very much a WIP (work in progress). For
example, some of the functions in the `prepost <#prepost>`__ module have
a similar functions in `Hawc2io <wetb/hawc2/Hawc2io.py>`__. These
different implementations will be merged in due time.
Both Python2 and Python3 are supported.

### [prepost](wetb/prepost)
Module for creating an arbitrary number of HAWC2 simulations, and optionally
corresponding execution scripts for a PBS Torque cluster (Linux), simple bash
(Linux), or Windows batch scripts. A post-processing module is also included
that calculates statistical parameters, performs rainflow counting for fatigue
load calculations, and create load envelopes.
