Tower & Nacelle

The geometrical and structural properties of onshore and offshore towers can be defined, to model the effects of:

• Tower dynamics, fore-aft and side to side

• Yaw dynamics and yaw bearing friction

• Foundation flexibility

• Wind loading, including aeroelastic feedback

• Wave and current loading, including hydrodynamic drag and inertia effects

Using the Offshore Support Structure module, multiple-member, space-frame support structures can be designed and analysed.
