Recently, I have read the User documentation of OpenFAST, I found some information in the "Future Work" of "BeamDyn User Guide"(https://openfast.readthedocs.io/en/main/source/user/beamdyn/future_work.html). It mentions, "For example, for general isotropic beams, engineering parameters including sectional offsets, material properties, etc will be used to generate the 6 ×× 6 matrices needed by BeamDyn".
BeamDyn is supported by Yu's group, and it is a part of OpenFAST which is the most popular open-source code in the wind energy field. Thus I think VABS also may become an open-source tool in the future. Is it true?

There is no plan for VABS to become an open-source code.

OK, Thanks. There may be a long way to go for the OpenFAST team, I think.
