Software for Wind Simulation & Wind Load Generation on Structures
FEM Analysis and Design of Structures
The structural analysis program RFEM is the basis of a modular software system. The main program RFEM 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.
Analysis & Design of Frame/Beam/Truss Structures
The structural frame analysis and design program RSTAB contains a similar range of functions as RFEM, with special attention to frameworks. Therefore, it is very easy to use and for many years it has been the best choice for structural analysis.
CFD Simulation of Wind Flows
RWIND Simulation is a program for numerical simulations of wind flows around buildings or any other objects and generating wind loads, i.e. forces acting on these objects.
Interfaces for Data Exchange
The structural analysis software provided by Dlubal can be seamlessly integrated into the Building Information Modeling (BIM) process. A variety of interfaces allows you to exchange data from digital building models with RFEM or RSTAB.

![[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.
- 3D incompressible wind flow analysis with OpenFOAM® software package
- Direct model import from RFEM or RSTAB including neighboring and terrain models (3DS, IFC, STEP files)
- Model design via STL or VTP files independent of RFEM or RSTAB
- Simple model changes using Drag and Drop and graphical adjustment assistance
- Automatic corrections of the model topology with shrink wrap networks
- Option to add objects from the environment (buildings, terrain, ...)
- Wind load determined over the height of the building, depending on standard-specific parameters (velocity, turbulence intensity)
- K-epsilon and K-omega turbulence models
- Automatic mesh generating adjusted to the selected depth of detail
- Parallel calculation with optimal utilization of the capacity of multicore computers
- Results in just minutes for low-resolution simulations (up to 1 million cells)
- Results within a few hours for simulations with medium/high resolution (1‑10 million cells)
- Graphical display of results on the Clipper/Slicer planes (scalar and vector fields)
- Graphical display of streamlines
- Streamline animation (optional video creation)
- Definition of point and line samples
- Display of aerodynamic pressure coefficients
- Graphical display of turbulence properties in the wind field
- Optional meshing using the boundary layer option for the area near the model surface
- Consideration of rough model surfaces possible
- Optional use of a seond-order numerical scheme
- Multilingual user interface (e.g. German, English, Spanish, French)
- Documentation possible in the RFEM and RSTAB printout report
- How do I determine wind loads on structures of any shape?
- Which packages are available for the Geo-Zone Tool?
- What is the optimal wind tunnel size in RWIND Simulation?
- 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?
- On the dlubal.com website, I found the option to display the results along a line, or the option to enter the points manually. Where can I find this result view?
- I have defined a wind profile for RWIND Simulation up to a height of 100 m. Is the wind profile dependent on the size of the wind tunnel?
- How can I delete the RWIND Simulation results in an RFEM or RSTAB model?
- Is it possible to display the RWIND Simulation results in ParaView?
- How is the Cp coefficient of the surface result determined in RWIND Simulation?
- How can I import an IFC model into the RWIND Simulation environment?
