BIMWERX Wind CFD is our computational fuild dynamics modules, used to help determine resulting wind pressures on structures. Wind CFD can function as a stand-alone product, or integrated with GenFEA for bi-directional interoperability and automated wind load calculations.
Wind CFD is easy to use, and works with IGS file formats, making it widely compatible with most modern CAD & BIM software packages.
"Yet another high-end technology democratized by BIMWERX"
Introducing Wind CFD, the cutting-edge application designed to assist in structural engineering model development. Leveraging the robust capabilities of SU2 (CFD Engine), Wind CFD offers an innovative virtual wind tunnel and farfield sphere approach for accurate calculation of wind pressures on buildings. This tool supports model imports from IGS formats, ensuring seamless integration into your existing design workflow.
Wind CFD 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, Wind CFD seamlessly integrates with our Structural FEA product, GenFEA, facilitating automated structural analysis and wind loading simulations. Discover the efficiency and precision Wind CFD brings to your projects, transforming theoretical models into actionable insights with ease and accuracy.
Wind CFD provides 2 approaches to wind simulation problems:
Other features include:
Import IGS 3D model geometry directly into Wind CFD
