5.2.5 Printout Report

Printout Report

In the global printout report of RFEM or RSTAB, the data of the "RWIND Simulation window" is managed in a specific chapter. Furthermore, the generated load cases and loads generated by RWIND Simulation are part of the documentation by default. You can also include the graphical results, such as internal forces, deformations or stresses, of any RWIND Simulation load case. For a detailed description of the printout report, see Chapter 10 of the RFEM manual.

To include the RWIND Simulation data in the printout report, activate the RWIND Simulation Data option in the Global Selection tab of the RFEM or RSTAB program.

You can then select the specific data in three tabs.

RWIND Simulation Model Data
Image 5.66 RWIND Simulation Model Data tab

In this tab, you can select which data defined in the Wind Load and Settings tabs of the "RWIND Simulation window" (see the Chapter 'Wind Load' and the Chapter 'Settings') is to be printed. The Graph of the wind velocity and turbulence diagrams is each activated by default.

RWIND Simulation Load Cases
Image 5.67 RWIND Simulation Load Cases tab

This tab enables you to select the load cases created by RWIND Simulation (see the Chapter 'Load Cases').

For load cases that have been calculated, the Drag Force and Projected Area will be specified in the table of the printout report.

Please note that the drag forces act on the original model, referring to the coordinate system of RFEM or RSTAB. The projected area represents the area of all objects perpendicularly to the wind direction (projection in plane).

RWIND Simulation Results
Image 5.69 RWIND Simulation Results tab

In this tab, you can select which numerical results of RWIND Simulation are to be printed. Note that those are only available for locations of “probes” that have been defined for points (see the Chapter 'Probes').

Point probes are not based on any automatism in RWIND Simulation.

Note

They must rather be set by the user if any numerical results are to be included in the printout report. Furthermore, probes are specific to load cases. They are to be separately defined in RWIND Simulation for every single load case as the models depend on the wind directions.

Temporary probes are denominated as “0” sets. Point probes that have been saved (see the Image 'New Point Probe') are designated by their numbers.

Please note that the results on the simplified model are given in the coordinate system of RWIND Simulation (xRWIND, yRWIND, zRWIND).

Printing Graphics

The graphical results of every RWIND Simulation load case can be incorporated in the printout report, too. Chapter 10.1.5 of the RFEM manual gives you detailed information on the printing options concerning images.
