Calculating Wind Loads on Buildings with CFD Simulation

In this 30-minute SimScale webinar, we take a look at how airflow simulation helps architects and civil engineers manage the risk of wind loads across all stages of the building design process.

By watching, you will learn:
- How architects can make informed design decisions with respect to the overall building shape very early in the conceptual design phase thanks to virtual wind simulations

- How civil engineers can generate accurate wind load information with simulations instead of using tabular values from standards and codes

- How you can make your design process more agile with the help of Computational Fluid Dynamics software in the web browser. No expensive hardware, no wasted time, and risk-free.

(1:39) Why should I care about flow simulation?

Hi, Is there any certified course available on this topic?

[mihirpatil]

Hi I want to learn this software.. as I am doing mg mtech thesis by using this software can.. you please tell me how to enroll to your course

[nabilfarhan]

Hi!! Can you share the manual setup for boundary conditions with crosswind cases? Thank you

[fdggfgdfgd]

HOW much of a domain do you reckon we need for a wind study. if I have a100 m tall building, can the domain be XYZ 100m, 100m, 150m ?

i see often large domains being used, where the building is tiny in its domain. Any rules of thumb? thanks

[juntingchen]

Can you show RMS/peak load plots in your validation study?

[halilzeyrek]

DO YOU USE TOTAL PRESSURE OR STATİC PRESSE FOR PRESSURE THAT SURFACE OF BULDİNG

how can i find the effects of wind on a pedestrian bridge? i need to find the periods and apply loads to structure to prevent resonating

[aaronlefcovitch]

Are you suggesting that you can obtain accurate peak loads on cladding and structure using CFD?

[kamillaaitova]

When i try to run analyses, i get mistake mesh is assigned to different surfaces, however needs to be assigned to one surface
I do not know how to Sølve it

[giuliagigli]

Hi! I'm a beginner user of ansys fluent and I have to study the across wind on a tall building. How can you insert this option in the software?

[surachatgumngen]

Hi Milad, if you can provide a step by step workshop/webinar for wind loads on buildings like F1 and Drone etc. it would be perfect. thanks. :)

[prakharsingh]

can anyone provide with the result of wind analysis for my design?

[DGMUSICisGOOD]

Im here because i was showering and thought "I wonder how strong wind would have to be to move a statue of something sitting on top of another square rock" Hmm.

[forgivenblessed]

Hello, I upload my structure but error appear. What will I do then? thanks a lot.

[mohammedabdulsami]

Where I can find crack version of your software.

[koseku]

too long video. please trim it to reduce to only about calculating wind load

[uniaainu]

Just make void hole every 40 level . Sattle solution . Simple and cheaper solution
