RWIND - Wind Simulation & Wind Load Generation
RWIND is a stand-alone program for numerical simulations of wind flow (digital wind tunnel) around buildings or any other objects and generating wind loads, i.e. forces acting on these objects.
This program was developed by PC-Progress in cooperation with Dlubal Software and CFD Support and can be used as a stand-alone application or as a complement to RFEM / RSTAB programs for static and dynamic analysis.

Main Features
- 3D incompressible wind flow analysis with OpenFOAM® software package
- Importing models from STL files or direct import from RFEM / RSTAB
- Easy model modification via drag and drop and graphical manipulators
- Automatic corrections of model topology using shrink-wrapping meshes
- Possibility to add surrounding objects (buildings, terrain, ...)
- Elevation-dependent velocity profiles according to the standard
- k-epsilon and k-omega turbulence models
- Automatic meshing adapted to the selected level of detail
- Parallel calculation fully utilizing the performance of multicore PCs
- Getting results in a few minutes for low resolution simulations (up to 1 mil. cells)
- Getting results in a few hours for medium/high resolution simulations (1-10 mil. cells)
- Graphical display of results on clipper/slicer planes (scalar and vector fields)
- Graphical display of streamlines
- Streamline animation (optional video creation)
- Graphical display of pressure on model surface
- Graphical display of forces acting on the model
