Load Types > Wind load (velocity)
Selection of a Load Type of the load type group for the definition of wind loads via specification of wind speed, direction and shape coefficients.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Mean wind load (WINDM and WINDG) | Definition of a general wind loading via pre-defined wind profiles. WINDM defines the mean wind of a wind profile as static load, WINDG defines an increased static equivalent wind with taking into account relevant gust components. |
| Mean Drag for longitudinal wind component (DRAGML) | Wind pressure in longitudinal direction of the elements |
| Mean Drag (DRAGM) | Wind pressure in wind direction perpendicular to the element axis |
| Mean Lift (LIFTM) | Wind loading perpendicular to the wind direction (lifting force, vertical) |
| Mean Pitch (PITCHM) | Torsional moment loading due to wind impact |
| Viscous Drag Damping(VDDE) | Simulation of stream load on submerged floater and cables due to wind impact |
