Wind simulation and Wind tunnel test

Software: Dubal RWIND

RWIND Simulation Case Setup  RWIND   Simulation software, developed by companies PC-PROGRESS and DLUBAL, was designed as specialized tool for rapid CFD simulations of wind load on large variety of structures. RWIND Simulation works as standalone software, or it can be directly connected with structural design software RFEM or RSTAB.  RWIND Simulation user  interface is super ease of use with minimal  necessary settings and  user skills. The  work flow is very simple.  The input for RWIND    Simulation is the  surface model of the  structure(CAD,.STL).   The virtual wind tunnel    is created around the   structure. Wind speed is    set.

Visual Programming language: Grasshopper with Rhino3D(Optional)

Rhino3D and Grasshopper:

Grasshopper is a visual programming language and environment that runs within the Rhinoceros 3D computer-aided design (CAD) application. The program was created by David Rutten at Robert McNeel & Associates. Programs are created by dragging components onto a canvas. The outputs to these components are then connected to the inputs of subsequent components.

Grasshopper is primarily used to build generative algorithms, such as for generative art. Many of Grasshopper’s components create 3D geometry. Programs may also contain other types of algorithms including numeric, textual, audio-visual and haptic applications.

Advanced uses of Grasshopper include parametric modelling for structural engineering, parametric modelling for architecture and fabrication, lighting performance analysis for eco-friendly architecture and building energy consumption.
