Wind engineering study
What it is
Structural forces computed from the CFD pressure time series, including dynamic behavior, per-floor accelerations and occupant comfort criteria. Aimed at tall buildings and slender structures.
When you need it
When you are designing tall, slender or dynamically sensitive structures and need global wind loads plus the building's dynamic response - accelerations and occupant comfort - rather than static estimates alone.
What we deliver
How we do it
Model the building and its surroundings, then run LES to capture the unsteady wind loading.
Extract pressure time series across the envelope from the simulation.
Integrate them into global static and dynamic forces on the structure.
Compute per-floor accelerations and check them against occupant comfort criteria.
Real project
140 m tower
Global wind loads and dynamic response computed for a 140 m tower from CFD pressure time series - static forces for design plus per-floor accelerations to check occupant comfort, replacing conservative analytical estimates.

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.
