Wind engineering study
What it is
External pressure coefficients (Cp) over the entire building envelope, for the design of cladding, sealing and glazing systems. The digital model includes the surrounding topography and buildings.
When you need it
When you are specifying cladding, glazing, curtain walls or sealing systems and need accurate external pressures - especially on tall or unusually shaped buildings where code tables fall short or neighboring buildings change the loading.
What we deliver
How we do it
Build a digital model of the building, its envelope and the surrounding terrain and buildings.
Run high-fidelity LES simulations for the wind directions that govern the site.
Extract external pressure coefficients (Cp) across the full envelope, separated by zone.
Deliver a technical report with pressures ready for cladding, glazing and sealing design.
Real project
108 m oceanfront tower
External pressure coefficients mapped across the full envelope of a 108 m oceanfront tower, with the neighbouring skyline and coastline included in the digital model - giving the cladding design realistic, position-specific pressures instead of conservative code envelopes.

Why you can trust our results
We are not a physical wind tunnel - we are a CFD specialist whose results are validated against wind tunnel measurements. AeroSim is an international reference in computational wind engineering.
