Wind Load Application Using RWIND 2
This article demonstrates wind load generation in RWIND 2 integrated with RFEM 6 for complete structural analysis and design.

RFEM and RSTAB have a special interface for exporting models (i.e. structures defined by members and surfaces) to RWIND Basic. In this interface, the wind directions to be analyzed are defined by means of related angular positions about the vertical model axis, and the height-dependent wind and turbulence intensity profile is defined on the basis of a wind standard. Based on this information, you can use stored calculation parameters for a stationary calculation for each angular position.
You can also run the RWIND Basic program manually without the interface in RFEM and RSTAB. In this case, the structures and terrain environment in RWIND Basic are directly modeled by importing VTP, STL, OBJ, and IFC files. The height-dependent wind load and other fluid-mechanical data can be defined directly in RWIND Basic.

How can I consider various wind profiles for various wind directions?
- Where can I adjust the settings of my wind simulation in RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9?
- Is it possible to use load transfer surfaces in RFEM 6 for wind load generation using RWIND?
- How can I open RWIND using the load wizard in RFEM and RSTAB?
- Does RWIND 2 also work on a MAC?
- Can I also use RWIND 2 with RFEM 5/RSTAB 8?
- How do I apply wind load on members of open structures?
- What is the meaning of the difference in the checksum of drag forces?
- Is it possible to export RWIND Simulation results into a GIS software or any other external program?
- I saw somewhere that it is possible to set the ground level for a model in RWIND (for example, for a model with a basement). Unfortunately, I cannot find where to set this.
