Could anybody post simple wind tutorial. Thanx!

amazing!

amazing "as usual"!

Really impresive, yes. Simple but powerfull and nice simulation model. I thought that perhaps, some years in future we will be abble to simulate non-deterministic stuff. We only need more computation power :) 

 

Is this component released yet?

 

Best Regards.

@Nick - yes, good idea about evolving for minimal base shear.

I'm also curious to try simply wind-blasting some buildings to see what shape they end up.

Hopefully there will be some interesting emergent aerodynamic forms.

 

@Angel - Surprisingly there is no noise component involved here. The flapping is a purely emergent phenomenon arising from the simple interaction between the set wind velocity and the flexibility of the material (crazy huh? I keep being amazed by the complexity and natural looking behaviour that can result from very simple equations)

Nice!! Have you used some Noise in the definition of wind force, isn't it?

This looks very impressive. I'm imagining the possibilities of combining this wind force with Galapagos to find a building form to minimise overal wind loading (base shear) on a structure. Exciting stuff.
