A numerical simulation of the flow around a glider has been performed with different angles of attack in RWIND 2. The main goal is to simulate a flow around the wings and fuselage of a glider and to determine the drag and lift coefficient with respect to the angle of attack. The critical angle of attack, i.e. the angle of attack which produces the maximum lift coefficient, can be identified.

You can download this structural model to use it for training purposes or for your projects. However, we do not assume any guarantee or liability for the accuracy or completeness of the model.
Do you already know the editor for mesh refinement control? It is a great help for your work! Why? It's easy – it gives you the following options:
- Graphic visualization of the areas with mesh refinements
- Mesh refinement of zones
- Deactivating the standard 3D solid mesh refinement with transversion into the corresponding manual 3D mesh refinements.
These options help you to formulate a suitable rule for meshing the entire model, even for the models with unusual dimensions. Use the editor to efficiently define small model details on large buildings or detailed meshing areas in the coating area of the model. You will be amazed!
Shear walls and deep beams of a building model are available as independent objects in the design add-ons. This allows for faster filtering of the objects in results, as well as better documentation in the printout report.
The building story generator in the Building Model add-on allows you to automatically create building stories, depending on the topology of the model.
In the Concrete Design provides an option to perform seismic design according to AISC 341-16 for steel members.
Five SFRS types (Seismic Force-Resisting Systems) are available for this.
