Software for Wind Simulation & Wind Load Generation on Structures
Structural FEM Analysis and Design
The structural analysis software RFEM 6 is the basis of a modular program family. The RFEM main program is used to define structures, materials, and loads for planar and spatial structural systems consisting of plates, walls, shells, and members. The program also allows you to create combined structures as well as model solid and contact elements.
Structural Frame & Truss Analysis Software
The structural frame and truss analysis software RSTAB 9 has similar functions as the FEA software RFEM. Due to the special attention to beam, frame, or truss structures, it is very easy to use and for many years, it has been the best choice for structural analysis and design of pure structural member models.
CFD Simulation of Wind Flow
The RWIND 2 stand-alone program is recommended for complex structures. Utilize this program to simulate wind flow (digital wind tunnel) around buildings or any other objects and generating wind loads, that is the forces acting on these objects based on CFD.
Import the generated wind loads acting on these objects to the structural analysis and design software RFEM or RSTAB.
Interfaces for Data Exchange
The structural analysis software provided by Dlubal Software can be integrated seamlessly into the Building Information Modeling (BIM) process. The large number of interfaces ensures the data exchange of digital building models with RFEM or RSTAB.
The web service (programmable interface) can be used to read or write data from/to RFEM and RSTAB.

Great Program RWIND Simulation

![[DE] Wind simulation using RWIND Simulation and transfer of wind forces to RFEM or RSTAB](/-/media/Images/netgenium/thumbnails/2/9/6/7/3/2967318/2967318.png?la=en&mw=348&mlid=0BCDF085EC5445CA91D502A0D57CA671&hash=705F94EA2B2D0F103C6E3777CE9F2AF48D93B38D)
The following study compares the wind pressure on a tall building obtained by RWIND Simulation with the results published by Dagnew et al. at the 11th Americas Conference on Wind Engineering in June, 2009.
RFEM and RSTAB have a special interface for exporting models (i.e. structures defined by members and surfaces) to RWIND Simulation. In this interface, the wind directions to be analyzed are defined by means of related angular positions about the vertical model axis, and the height-dependent wind and turbulence intensity profile is defined on the basis of a wind standard. Based on these specifications, you can create your own load cases for each angle setting by using fluid parameters, turbulence model properties, and iteration parameters that are all saved globally. These load cases can be extended from STL vector graphics by partial editing in the RWIND Simulation environment using terrain or environment models.
You can also run the program RWIND Simulation manually without the interface in RFEM and RSTAB. In this case, the structures and terrain environment in RWIND Simulation are directly modeled by importing STL and VTP files. The height-dependent wind load and other fluid-mechanical data can be defined directly in RWIND Simulation.
- How do I determine wind loads on structures of any shape?
- Which packages are available for the Geo-Zone Tool?
- Is it possible to use load transfer surfaces in RFEM 6 for wind load generation using RWIND?
- What is the meaning of the difference in the checksum of drag forces?
- Is it possible to export RWIND Simulation results into a GIS software or any other external program?
- I saw somewhere that it is possible to set the ground level for a model in RWIND (for example, for a model with a basement). Unfortunately, I cannot find where to set this.
- How is the entry of the turbulence intensity related to the profile of the turbulence intensity in the RWIND Simulation program?
- Is it possible to keep the results from RWIND Simulation when deleting the FE mesh if I only adjust materials or support conditions?
- 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?

RWIND
Stand-Alone Program
RWIND 2 is a program (digital wind tunnel) for the numerical simulation of wind flows around any building geometries with determination of the wind loads on their surfaces. It can be used as a stand-alone application or used together with RFEM and RSTAB for complete structural analysis and design.
