At the present stage, models for RWIND Simulation can be created in RFEM or RSTAB, or imported from an STL file (e.g. terrain and other objects). The wind loads applied in specific directions (see description below) result in corresponding load cases. Each direction represents one model in RWIND Simulation. For the analysis, the models are exported to RWIND Simulation where the loads are determined. After the calculation, the models are saved in the “RFEM/RSTAB” project group. The denominations of each model (Project) include the names of the RFEM/RSTAB models and the load case numbers.
You can open any RFEM or RSTAB model to examine the results. Additionally, you can modify the calculation parameters, move or rotate the model, or insert the geometry of the terrain (in development, see the Chapter 'Model Type').
Note
If you have launched RWIND Simulation from RFEM or RSTAB and want to save the model under a different name, use the Save Copy As function in the File menu. Save As might disconnect the project from RFEM/RSTAB and cause an error.
