BIMWERX WindCFD is our computational fluid dynamics solution, used to help determine resulting wind pressures on structures. WindCFD can function as a stand-alone product, or integrated with GenFEA for interoperability and advanced wind load calculations.
WindCFD is easy to use, and works with IGS / DWG / IFC file formats, making it widely compatible with most modern CAD & BIM software packages.
One of the fastest CFD solvers available, thanks to MPI technology!
WindCFD is currently in Beta.
"Yet another high-end technology democratized by BIMWERX"
Introducing WindCFD, the cutting-edge application designed to assist in structural engineering model development. Leveraging the robust capabilities of Kratos Multiphysics (CFD Engine), WindCFD offers an innovative virtual wind tunnel approach for accurate calculation of wind pressures on buildings. This tool supports model imports from IGS / DWG / IFC formats, ensuring seamless integration into your existing design workflow.
Try our Context Model Builder using live maps and digital terrain datasets, including existing building envelope data, to automate your workflow.
WindCFD simplifies complex simulations with its automatic meshing feature, which includes customizable options for mesh refinement areas and size control, tailored to meet the specific needs of each project. With an array of adjustable parameters including wind velocity, altitude, and solver types, our software allows for in-depth customization of CFD settings to suit a variety of environmental conditions. Results are not only visualized through intuitive graphical outputs but are also available in detailed spreadsheets, thanks to our integrated spreadsheet components. For enhanced workflow automation, WindCFD integrates with our Structural FEA product, GenFEA, facilitating automated structural analysis and wind loading simulations. Discover the efficiency and precision WindCFD brings to your projects, transforming theoretical models into actionable insights with ease and accuracy.
