Loads on a HAWT Blade for QFEM

#1 · 1. April 2024, 14:19

Hi all,

I am just looking for some help with my QFEM for a HAWT blade. I understand how to set up the analysis, but I was hoping someone would be able to give me some insight into how to determine the normal loads and tangential loads that need to be applied to each section along the blade length.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hello,

you can import the blade loads from a “Rotor BEM” simulation.

Just make sure that you have a finished Rotor BEM simulation in your database, select it and then click the “Click to Import Loads” button.

BR,
