Windsim 9.0
WindSim 9 includes many new features, added functionality, and valuable extensions requested by our users. Here are some of the highlights.
NEW FEATURES INCLUDES
Rotor Equivalent Wind Speed
New standards require that not only the wind at hub height is used for the power calculation but the average over the rotor. WindSim has implemented this new standard
Automatic Calculation of Forest Parameters
Global data base for leaf area index and drag coefficient enables straightforward way to create a realistic forest for your sites
Integration Towards Windplanner
Windplanner can import WindSim’s turbine locations to enable easy visualization and demonstration of your projects
Export to the new Flowres format of WindPRO
WindPRO can use CFD results directly if they are provided in a specific format. WindSim exports to this format now
Export to Google Earth
Visualize your WindSim results directly in google earth with an easy export
Scaled Vertical Profiles
The simulated vertical profiles can be scaled against the measurements and plotted in an excel sheet. It is possible to compare up to 5 different models for the same area against measurements.
IEC plots
Visualizes the effective turbulence for every wind speed bin and compares it to the standards
Site Compliance Files
All data necessary for site compliance is given within one file
Faster Energy Module Calculation
Even the largest models can be finished within a brief timeframe
Reduced Files in Binary Format
We made the output even more compact to save your disc space
More Cells
WindSim is technically able to run more than 100 million cells
New Actuator Disc
Faster actuator disc calculation which can also calculate the energy production (Contact us for this special feature)
IMPORTANT BUG FIXES
All problems reported under the release notes for version 8.0 are fixed
