QBlade CE Downloads
QBlade CE 2.0.4.7 alpha
- default sensors added for tower top and nacelle (velocity, acceleration, deflection)
- fixed issue in DS models that could occur when “bad quality” polar data (such as with negative slope) was used
- removed structural time integrator selection from SimulationCreatorDialog, HHT is now default
- fixed issue where the tower drag coefficient was not read from the structural data table
- fixed issue with the tower shadow model, the position of tower shadow is now the instantaneous position of floating turbine
- added info for RNA and Tower COG to turbine design module, inertia info displayed now around the global COG
- when importing TurbSim .inp files the TurbSim console output is now displayed
- added delete by selection for turbine objects
- graph data can now be directly copied to clipboard
- several small gui improvements
QBlade CE 2.0.4.6 alpha
- fixed error where the current yaw angle read from the structural model had the wrong sign
- fixed error when during import of linear waves from a time series the mean heading angle was read in radians and not degrees
- added yaw angle to structural outputs
- added ROSCO 2.4.1 controller library
QBlade CE 2.0.4.5 alpha
- Implemented various checks to prevent users from defining overconstrained nodes during substructure generation that could cause divergence in the structural solver; checking SUBELEMENTSRIGID and SUBCONSTRAINT data tables
QBlade CE 2.0.4.4 alpha
- Bugfix in steady state BEM for HAWT’s
QBlade CE 2.0.4.3 alpha
- Fixed an issue in the classical steady state BEM iteration that appeared at large (above optimum) TSR’s.
QBlade CE 2.0.4.2 alpha
- There were issues with the OpenCL.dll under Windows, this dll has been replaced with a more compatible version that should detect OpenCL for most users
QBlade CE 2.0.4.1 alpha
- Fixed issue with virtual camber transformation, where values were not read from dialog
- Improved behavior of FoilTable when Foil selection is changed
