RWIND Simulation | Canopy Roofs According to Eurocode 1 in Wind Channel (Case A)
Video
First Steps with RFEM
Description
This video shows the realistic "Airflow over canopy roofs" in RWIND Simulation. RWIND Simulation can generate the exact wind flow for the first case in EN 1991-1-4 Section 7.3 Figure 7.15 (empty, free-standing canopy (φ = 0)) and export the resulting loads to RFEM.
RWIND Simulation is a stand-alone program for CFD simulation of wind flows around buildings or any other objects and generating wind loads, i.e. forces acting on these objects. Wind pressure and suction forces can be imported as loads into the structural analysis software RFEM or RSTAB.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- 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?
- Why is the surface pressure distribution in RFEM different from the corresponding surface pressure distribution in RWIND Simulation?
- Why does RWIND Simulation not converge to the preset minimum pressure difference, but oscillates about a higher limit value?
