Analysis of nacelle main structure

Customer:

Type:
Wind

Location:
Denmark

For the certification of a new main structure in the nacelle, our costumer needed a full extreme and fatigue analyses.

As the analysis of the main structure is highly dependent on the backup stiffness of the adjacent components, a large amount of components in the nacelle and tower top is included in the analysis.

The model included nonlinear contacts, bolt connection, nonlinear springs for representation of bearings etc.

Our solution

  1. Structural analysis in ANSYS Mechanical and APDL
  2. Fatigue analysis in ANSYS nCode
  3. Report and documentation for certification
