How can I get wind loads subjected to win turbine from FAST (NREL) to ANSYS ?

[Rob]

What do you want to pass to Fluent? Chances are something can be done, but as I don't know what you have & want it's a bit difficult to answer.

My study includes getting the dynamic response of wind turbines due to wind load
So I thought the best practice for such problem is to get the wind profile from FAST to ANSYS, However I created a model for it in ANSYS ,but I kinda have doubts about the resultes

[Rob]

You want to get the speed response? How did you add the profile to Fluent?

[abdoomer199]

Using system coupling with transient

I wanna get the response of wind turbine (tower) due to wind

[Rob]

Right, so the wind speed from FAST is the upstream flow boundary condition in Fluent?

[abdoomer199]

Yes, it is

[abdoomer199]

OpenFast should replace ANSYS for the response of wind turbine, but itÔÇÖs results is not visualizable

[abdoomer199]

My problem will be solved if lÔÇÖve got a manual or a tutorial for wind load simulation on win turbine

Look in Help, all of the public tutorials and examples are in there.
