We’re excited to introduce 𝗤𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝟮.𝟬.𝟴, containing several powerful improvements across 𝗮𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘆𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗰𝘀, 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗱𝘆𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗰𝘀, 𝗵𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘆𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗰𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀. This update refines core physics, expands modeling capabilities, adds numerous features and improves simulation stability.
💡 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗡𝗲𝘄?
✅ 𝗔𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘆𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗰𝘀 – Improved unsteady aero modeling, refined dynamic stall handling, and enhanced VAWT blade design.
✅ 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝘆𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗰𝘀 – Upgraded to Chrono 9.0.1, integrated Multi-Blade Coordinate Transformation (MBC) for modal analysis, introduced mooring line directional constraints, and expanded support for multi-rotor turbine designs.
✅ 𝗛𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘆𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗰𝘀 – Yaw correction for floating structures, refined Morison strip theory calculations, and improved potential flow modeling.
✅ 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀 – Integrated ROSCO 2.9.0, added compatibility with the Extended Bladed Interface, enabled cross-turbine controller communication, and expanded SIL interface capabilities.
✅ 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗼𝘂𝘀 – Advanced graph filtering, integrated statistics, histograms & damage equivalent load (DEL) evaluations, automated screenshot & video generation, and improved stability & performance. Full integration with WISE/WISDEM for time domain based optimizations.
📜 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗴 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲: https://qblade.org/assets/ChangeLogQB.txt
🔬 𝗧𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗤𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝟮.𝟬.𝟴, available for both academia and industry, and let us know what you think! https://qblade.org/downloads/
