ADAMS/WT
    The ADAMS/WT toolkit for creating wind-turbine models for the MSC.ADAMS® multi-body dynamics code has been replaced by functionality in FAST.  Please refer to the FAST User's GuidePDF to learn how to use it.

AirfoilPrep (v2.02.01, 13-December-2012)
    AirfoilPrep is an Excel workbook for generating airfoil tables for AeroDyn and WT_Perf.

BModes (v3.00.00, 20-March-2008)
    Software for Computing Rotating Blade Coupled Modes.

IECWind (v5.01.02, 13-September-2012)
    IECWind is a Fortran program used to create IEC wind data files for AeroDyn-based simulators.

Modes (v2.21, 21-June-2001)
    Modes is a Fortran program used to create mode shapes for blades and towers.

NuMAD
    NuMAD is a stand-alone, GUI pre-processor for ANSYS® finite element analysis software developed by Daniel Laird at Sandia National Laboratories. NREL does not support NMAD or supply the software; you must request it from Sandia.

PreComp (v1.00.04, 19-November-2012)
