This tool comes handy in the following scenarios: +* a DLB for a new turbine needs to be generated; +* a different wind turbine class needs to be evaluated; +* a new parameter needs to be included in the htc file; +* different parameters variations are required, e.g. different wind speed range or different number of turbulent seed. + +The generator of the cases uses an input spreadsheet where the cases are defined +in a more compact way. +The tool is based on the "tags" concept that is used for the genetaion of the htc files. + +Main spreatsheet +---------------- + +A main spreadsheet is used to defines all the DLC of the DLB. The file specifies the tags that are then required in the htc files. + +The file has: +* a Main sheet where some wind turbines parameters are defined, the tags are initialized, and the definitions of turbulence and gusts are given. +* a series of other sheets, each defining a DLC. In these sheets the tags that changes in that DLC are defined. + +The tags are devided into three possible different categories: +* Constants (C). Constants are tags that do not change in a DLC, e.g. simulation time, output format, ...; +* Variables (V). Variables are tags that define the number of cases in a DLC through their combinations, e.g. wind speed, number of turbilence seeds, wind direction, ..; +* Functions (F).
