SettingDescription
Aero CL No. Identification number for this Aero Class
Ref.CS Cross Section to use for calculation of aerodynamic coefficients with CFD and automatic determination of dimensions for wind check actions
Description General description for Aero class
Table / Single Values
  • Table: Steady state coefficients are given by pairs (angle, value)
  • Single Values: Steady state coefficients are determined by linear approximation via value and slope at main direction
Note: Selection is only available when creating Aero Class
Non-symmetric Input for + and - direction will be needed Note: Selection is only available when creating Aero Class
Factor Separate additional multiplication factors for X, Z and Y direction
DragX Drag coefficient in element direction
Normalization factors for wind forces, Strouhal numbers and other frequencies (separately for Z and Y direction)
  • No: No additional normalization
  • b: Coefficients related to width 'b'
  • h: Coefficients related to height 'h'
  • bb: Coefficients related to area 'b*b'
  • hh: Coefficients related to area 'h*h'
  • bh: Coefficients related to area 'b*h'
