Work on your models with efficient and precise calculations in the digital wind tunnel. RWIND 2 uses a numerical CFD model (Computational Fluid Dynamics) to simulate wind flows around objects. Specific wind loads for RFEM or RSTAB are generated from the simulation process.
This simulation is carried out by RWIND 2 using a 3D solid mesh. The program ensures automatic meshing, whereby you can easily set the overall mesh density and the local mesh refinement on the model with just a few parameters. A numerical solver for incompressible turbulent flows is used to calculate the wind flows and surface pressures on the model. The results are then extrapolated to your model. RWIND 2 is designed to work with different numerical solvers.
Currently, we recommend using the OpenFOAM® software package, which delivers very good results in our tests and is also a widely used tool for CFD simulations. Alternative numerical solvers are under development.
