Sub-Structure Data
Hello,
I am currently working in ANSYS for hydrostatic analysis, and I need the exact properties of the substructure (tower, nacelle, hub, and rotor) so that I can use them in ANSYS AQWA and ensure the simulation results closely represent real-world conditions. I also checked the sub-structure script in QBlade, but it does not provide mass properties, inertia properties, or any other physical properties of the sub-structure. wer, hub, nacelle, and rotor)?
Could you please guide me on how to obtain these properties (mass, inertia, etc.) for the sub-structure components (tower, hub, nacelle, and rotor)?
Looking for your quick reply.
Hello,
you can obtain the lumped mass and inertia properties of the entire turbine, including the substructure data, via the “Struct Model Info” button in the Turbine Design module.
In general however, when defining the substructure, tower, or blade, the corresponding mass, inertia, and stiffness properties are typically already known by the user, as these are required inputs that need to be provided for creating these components in QBlade.
Best regards,
David
