Leuven, Belgium – LMS, the engineering innovation company, is pleased to announce that it will be participating in EWEC 2009, Europe’s premier wind energy event. At EWEC 2009, which attracts leading renewable energy experts from around the world, LMS will present several of its dedicated wind energy solutions for wind turbine manufacturers, including the new LMS Virtual.Lab Motion Aerodyn Wind Loads feature found in its latest release, LMS Virtual.Lab Rev 8B.

Unlike other industries, wind turbine developers face some very particular challenges like aero-elastic wind load modeling, automating numerous and varying load runs and comprehensive pre- and post-processing. To solve this previously, users had to rely on specialized third party software outside the LMS Virtual.Lab environment and the related time-consuming data translations and importation, but thanks to this new feature in LMS Virtual.Lab Rev 8B -- LMS Virtual.Lab Motion Aerodyn Wind Loads, users will be able to reliably predict transient dynamic loads and use them as input for subsequent fatigue-life and radiated noise emission calculations – all from within the LMS Virtual.Lab environment.
