1. How to generate 3D wind field

  • Create a wind field task

createtask

2. Create a Mann Wind Generator

creategen
  • Help found in upper right corner

genhelp

3. Create TurbSim Wind Generator

turbsim
  • Help found in upper right corner

turbsimhelp

4. Set the path to DTU Mann and Turbsim Executable

  • Open the preferences

setpath

5. Create a condition: Ex Mann

createcond

Notes

  • The run and stop button is grey since the Mann Wind Generator input is invalid. If the validation errors are fixed, the run button is activated.

  • Ensure that you have set the path to in Tools → Preferences

    • The executables are input to the preferences list

  • DTU Mann generator

    • uses a velocity spectral tensor and includes three-dimensional coherence.

    • need gamma and L (can be found in standards) as input, as well as the grid sizes, so the input is not as complicated as one expect.

  • The TurbSim generator

    • only considers exponential coherence in the longitudinal direction and no coherence in the lateral or vertical directions
