Building up CFD Model

Before CFD model simulation, create a CFD model object in the project.

Before creating a CFD model object, ensure the mast, map, and wind farm boundary objects are already added in the project. The map and wind farm boundary should be defined with coordinate.

For details of map file, refer to the section Map.

For details about wind farm boundary, refer to the section Macrositing.

Check the format of the wind farm boundary file from the template and edit it if necessary. The other way is to draw a polygon and save it as WindRange. Refer to the section Drawing a Polygon for more details.
