Solar panel deflection due to wind!

GTT Johan

Outlook:

• Inspire CAD to genereate model. Simlab meshing and solution set-up in easy GUI for CFD and Structural analysis.
• Mapped pressure from CFD to Structure. This results can be used to evaluate the structure and improve the design of the panel.

This article includes:

• 1 Inspire model with the solar panel.
  • Altair Inspire version V2023.1
• 2 ready-to-use Altair Simlab model for CFD and structure
  • Altair Simab version is V2023.0
  • The Unit System is in kg, m, s
• A report with:
  • Inspire layout
  • CFD set-up
  • Structural set-up
  • Analysis of simulation results. 

Pre-Requisite

Altair Inspire 2023.1 & Simlab 2023.0 or later are needed.
