 # OFF
-Welcome to the working repo for a dynamic parametric wake toolbox which combines and connects OnWaRDS, FLORIDyn and FLORIS (OFF).
+Welcome to the working repo for a dynamic parametric wake toolbox that combines and connects OnWaRDS, FLORIDyn, and FLORIS (OFF).
 ## Purpose
-The OFF toolbox is meant to provide one interface to dynamic parametric wake modelling. The goal is to enable testing of different approaches, comparisons using the same interface and a environment to develop new approaches.

 ### Longterm vision
-FLORIDyn and OnWaRDS are hopefully only the start to create a transparent toolbox to explore dynamic parametric wake modelling choices. We therefore plan to implement more model-design decisions and allow a simple, automatable change of them.
-Extensions of the code could include floating turbine descriptions, new wake solvers or modifications of existing ones.

 ## Contributing
 Fork branch commit push pull!
 **We do explicitly encourage the interested developers to engage and also to add their ideas and code to the toolbox.**
 The Git is also meant as a place to discuss and propose new changes.
 
 ## How to run a simulation
-Run the main.py in the 03_Code folder.
+Run the `main.py` in the 03_Code folder.
 
-To change the simulation, you have to change the .yaml file OFF calls. This is defined by one of the first limes of code in the main function. The .yaml structure is showed in 02_Examples_and_Cases/02_Example_Cases/run_example.yaml . This is where you can change the wind farm layout, the flow conditions, the wake model etc.
