RWIND Basic uses a numerical CFD model (Computational Fluid Dynamics) to simulate wind flows around your objects using a digital wind tunnel. The simulation process determines specific wind loads acting on your model surfaces from the flow result around the model.
A 3D volume mesh is responsible for the simulation itself. For this, RWIND Basic performs an automatic meshing on the basis of freely definable control parameters. For the calculation of wind flow, RWIND Basic provides a steady solver and RWIND Pro a transient solver for incompressible turbulent flow. Surface pressures resulting from the flow results are extrapolated onto the model for each time step.
