Engineers seeking a tool to calculate wind loads and wind pressures on the main wind force resisting system of buildings

About MecaWind

MecaWind is a wind load calculator software used to calculate wind loads and/or wind pressures on the main wind force resisting system (MWFRS) of buildings and many other structures (chimneys, tanks, towers, open signs, closed signs, solar panels, rooftop equipment, canopy, bins, tanks, silos, and free-standing walls). It is based upon the ASCE 7 standard used throughout the United States for design loads, which is published by the American Society of Civil Engineers. The MecaWind wind load calculator software contains multiple versions of the ASCE 7 standard as well as the Florida Building Code (FBC). For instance, it includes ASCE 7-05, ASCE 7-10, and ASCE 7-16, each being a different release of the same standard. The latest version is ASCE 7-16, and many of the changes found from the ASCE 7-10 version to ASCE 7-16 can be found in this article. ASCE 7-05 is also included in MecaWind, but this older version of the standard is used less frequently in jurisdictions.

Orbital Stack is an AI and CFD web-based software that provides earlier qualitative guidance, comparing a large number of design options while highlighting any potential wind and thermal comfort red flags. It allows for the realization of a variety of climate-conscious, high-performance developments not previously feasible due to cost and/or time constraints associated with traditional studies. Orbital Stack is the first digital climate-analysis tool built by global leaders in wind and microclimate engineering using real wind tunnel data. It is truly a game-changer for the architecture and building design sector, offering our clients direct access to wind comfort and safety analysis, thermal comfort and shadowing analysis, and cladding pressure simulations. This means architects can run their own wind simulations and quickly understand the climate impacts of their proposed building designs from the start, making decisions that result in higher performing and more resilient projects.

RWIND
RWIND
The wind simulation program RWIND, like the other Dlubal Software programs, is easy to use and reliably provides the required result. If using RWIND, the wind will certainly not be taken out of the sails of your project. RWIND allows you to analyze wind flows (digital wind tunnel) around buildings or any other objects. For this, RWIND uses a CFD simulation (Computational Fluid Dynamics) and shows you how the wind flows affect the generated structures. Run a wind simulation for simple or complex structures – the result will always speak for itself. You can then simply import the wind loads calculated with RWIND into RFEM or RSTAB.
