The output file designations for OpenFAST is a bit confusing at present.
1 - text
2 - binary
3 - text+binary
4 - uncompressed binary
5 - uncompressed binary+text
The sample input files say OutFileFmt = 0 is uncompressed binary (which is odd, because0 is
typically reserved for "None"), but this is actually treated as OutFileFmt = 5 by the source code.
I propose we change to the following:
0 - none (for cases when results are passed directly back to a calling code)
1 - text
2 - binary
2u - uncompressed binary
3 - text + binary
3u - text + uncompressed binary
4 - future format #1 (TBD)
8 - future format #2 (TBD)
In the above, 3 and 3u are simply additive combinations of 1 and 2/2u. Similarly a later option 7u would be 4 + 1 + 2u.
