Command line tools for preprocessing of wind turbine blade models
Project description
b3p
Command line tools to create models for composite (wind turbine) blades.
Functionality
- Interpolating a blade through a series of airfoils
- Creating a quad mesh for the blade
- Assigning scalable slab based laminate plans to the structure
- Assembling a shell mesh with laminate properties
- Writing mesh information to VTK files
How to run
pip install -e .
cd examples
make
which outputs the following targets
help Show this help
build make self contained yaml file
ccx prepare and run ccx models
aero run aero analysis
all run all steps
To run all steps type:
make all
Output
Plot of geometric input parameters for the example blade
Visualisation of the number of plies on the mesh using Paraview
Visualisation of a 2d cross section mesh
CalculiX results (very coarse mesh)
Input file format
