FAQ 004959 EN-US
Is it possible to keep the results from RWIND Simulation when deleting the FE mesh if I only adjust materials or support conditions?
Answer
Yes, it is. You can keep the results of RWIND Simulation if the FE mesh is deleted. To do this, select the Keep wind simulation results if mesh is deleted option in the RWIND Simulation settings:
Image 01 - Keeping RWIND Simulation Results if Mesh is Deleted
A new calculation by RWIND Simulation is not required if the material is changed, the support conditions are adjusted, or other changes are made that do not affect the CFD analysis.
After adjusting the material, the FE mesh is deleted and thus also the RWIND load case. However, you can generate this RWIND load case again in a few seconds by creating the loads again in RFEM using Calculation → RWIND Simulation - Calculate All in Background.

Then, the results are available again.

Depending on stiffness, mass, and damping, structures react differently to wind action.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- I have defined a wind profile for RWIND Simulation up to a height of 100 m. Is the wind profile dependent on the size of the wind tunnel?
- How can I import an IFC model into the RWIND Simulation environment?
- I would like to use the export of visual objects to RWIND Simulation. How do I scale my visual object for the import?
- Where are the RWIND Simulation projects created by RFEM/RSTAB saved?
- Where can I define a wind velocity diagram according to a specific wind standard for the numerical wind tunnel analysis in RWIND Simulation?
- How is the entry of the turbulence intensity related to the profile of the turbulence intensity in the RWIND Simulation program?
- Is there the ability to apply the adjusted wind tunnel dimensions in RWIND Simulation for all wind load cases instead of making the revision manually for each load case?
- What is the optimal wind tunnel size in RWIND Simulation?
- On the dlubal.com website, I found the option to display the results along a line, or the option to enter the points manually. Where can I find this result view?
- How can I delete the RWIND Simulation results in an RFEM or RSTAB model?
