The number of degrees of freedom in a node is no longer a global calculation parameter in RFEM (6 degrees of freedom for each mesh node in 3D models, 7 degrees of freedom for the warping torsion analysis). Thus, each node is generally considered with a different number of degrees of freedom, which leads to a variable number of equations in the calculation.
This modification speeds up the calculation, especially for models where a significant reduction of the system could be achieved (for example, trusses and membrane structures).
The RWIND Simulation program for generating wind loads based on CFD can be utilized in different languages; for example, in:

Utilize the RWIND Simulation program to consider a surface roughness of the model surface by applying a modified wall boundary condition. The numerical model is based on the assumption that grains with a certain diameter are arranged homogeneously on the model surface, similar to sandpaper. The grain diameter is described with the parameter Ks and the distribution with the parameter Cs. By considering the wall roughness, the numerical flow simulation can capture reality more closely.
The volume space in RWIND Simulation can optionally be discretized with the second-order theory between the cells.
This extended approach usually results in more accurate results despite poorer convergence behavior.
