Enable findex for sample_flow_at_points

[RRiva]

For my use case I have a set of points that rotates with the wind direction, and therefore depends on findex.

The current workflow is thus:

fmodel_ = deepcopy(fmodel)
fmodel_.set(wind_directions=wd[findex],
            wind_speeds=ws[findex],
            turbulence_intensities=[fmodel.core.flow_field.turbulence_intensities[findex]],
            yaw_angles=fmodel.core.farm.yaw_angles[[findex], :])
fmodel_.run()
ws = fmodel_.sample_flow_at_points(x, y, z)[0, :]

This has two drawbacks:

1. I'm only setting the parameters that I care about, while all of them are already specified with the findex.
2. I must re-run the model, even if I already have the results for all findex.

I've also tried fmodel.set_for_viz(findex, None), but that only works the first time, because it deletes all the other findex. Furthermore, it also calls run().

It would be nice to add a new keyword to sample_flow_at_points, so that the wind speed can be obtained for only 1 findex. The same goes for the future sample_ti_at_points .

Hi @RRiva ,

Thanks for the suggestion. Noted, and I agree that this would be a nice feature, I will add this to a list of possible future features.
