Modeling wind gusts in NX

[mwb5413]

Hello

I am looking to model wind force on a structure model I have created in NX. The force I am looking to model is a gust of wind of 100mph for 3 seconds. Is it possible to model this with the 3 second time factor? Suggestions for how to get started?

Thank you.

Hello,

If your modeling objective is to study the structure's integrity, then you can use NX Advanced Simulation.

Consider whether you want to do a fluid dynamic analysis or not, as below:
Option1: Do a CFD analysis to get the contact pressure at the surface of the structure. Then map the contact pressure onto the structural mesh of the model for structural analysis.
Option2: Directly apply a pressure loading (that represents the wind load), onto the structural mesh of the model for a structural analysis.

Kind regards,
