Work on your models with efficient and precise calculations in the digital wind tunnel. RWIND 2 uses a numerical CFD model (Computational Fluid Dynamics) to simulate wind flows around objects. Specific wind loads are generated from the simulation process for RFEM or RSTAB.
RWIND 2 performs this simulation using a 3D volume mesh. The program provides automatic meshing; you can easily set the entire mesh density as well as the local mesh refinement on the model using a few parameters. A numerical solver for incompressible turbulent flows is used to calculate the wind flows and the surface pressures on the model. The results are then extrapolated to your model. RWIND 2 is designed to work with different numerical solvers.
We currently recommend using the OpenFOAM® software package, which has provided very good results in our tests and is also a frequently used tool for CFD simulations. Alternative numerical solvers are under development.
