Feature request: Two-way conversion between OpenFAST input files and WindIO format [openfast_io] #2261

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. No, It's a new feature request for the upcoming openfast_io library.

Describe the solution you'd like A Two-way conversion between OpenFAST input files and the 'WindIO' format using openfast_io library

Describe alternatives you've considered Using WEIS to generate the files, but this requires a larger space and memory overhead.

Additional context WindIO is a framework defining the inputs and outputs for systems engineering MDAO of wind turbine and plants. The framework was developed by the IEA Wind Task 37 team within Work Package 1. https://github.com/IEAWindTask37/windIO

I would say that it would be great to also develop the inverse of this capability, i.e., the ability to generate WindIO format from a given OpenFAST model. Two-way conversions between WindIO format and various aero-elastic models will allow us to use WindIO as a mediator for code-to-code converters.

Best regards,
