Why AeroSim?
Why now?
Wind is not a steady thing. A high-fidelity CFD is a method that captures fine details and fluctuations of the wind flow. Some engineering decisions can only be made with knowledge of the transient wind.

In traditional CFD paradigms, high-fidelity simulations are overwhelmingly time-consuming. However, AeroSim has developed a novel large eddy solver, order of magnitude faster than other alternatives. Now, architects and structural designers can use advanced wind analysis by transient CFD.

FAQ
To use AeroSim, do I need to have experience with CFD?

No. All technical decisions needed to run high-fidelity aerodynamic simulations are taken by AeroSim's specialists who will be in charge of your project. Our setup defaults have been tested for many years in a number of validation case studies, available in our simulation portfolio (portfolio.aerosim.io). However, if you have some experience with CFD, and would like the freedom to define simulations parameters such as numerical grid, resolution, sample size, and others, you can customize the main simulation parameters before receiving a quotation.

How is the price based?

After you submit a project for analysis, you will receive a quotation for the computational aerodynamics calculations of that project. The quotation will show you the amount of credits required per simulation, which depends on the buildings' dimensions, and the total credits required for the project.

How are the credits defined?

One cloud credit is equivalent to one GPU-hour, but it can also be used for consultancy hours, depending on the specific project requirements. The price per credit is fixed. Upon receiving a quotation, the total amount of credits will be listed, as well as the equivalent price in USD.

How do I obtain wind loads?

AeroSim gives you the time histories of velocity and pressure, and a set of statistical and geometric tools to interact with this data. The user must compose the wind loads according to the approach he/she finds more appropriate for the structure.

What is the problem with steady CFD solutions, such as RANS?

Steady solutions deliver only mean properties, such as mean velocity and mean pressure. They can bring valuable insight in an early design stage, and preliminary wind loads could be obtained by a quasi-static approach. However, wind pressures manifest high-frequency peaks that the quasi-static approach is unable to predict. Besides, steady results give no indication of susceptibility to resonance and other turbulence phenomena that affect structures. Hence, experienced wind engineers use transient data to compose wind loads in mature stages of the structural project.
