WTG Object Service

The ObjWtgService is giving access to wind turbine generator objects. To make a new wtg object, you can use the ObjectService. Then getting the properties of the wtg with the ObjWtgService.GetWtgObject. These properties can be manipulated and then send back to windPRO with ObjWtgService.SetWtgObject. Adding a path with a wtg file is enough to do a basic calculation. More advanced manipulation is not possible at the moment. Find below a working example that can be run on the test project New Salem.
