Fantastic! Has been invaluable in introducing me to wind energy, and I feel I could continue to use it as I dive deeper.

Hallo David, I have a problem with Q-blade 0,963 software, which is when I study the wind field, the rotor radius of the blade that I'm studying is 10,2 m and the hub hieght is 50 m ,but when I want to test the simulation, a message appears that the wind field is too small rotor??? I also have another question, which is when I want to test the loads on the blade, there is an option in a field structural data, which is root speed at design point , Should I enter here the rotational speed of the rotor of the turbine or should the value remain zero here?? THANKS

Very good thank you

Just because it is open source software and in constantly improving deserves a good note. For study and research purposes, which is my case, it is being extremely useful. Another reason that deserves a good note is the fact that it can run on computers that are not so fast. Apenas por ser um software de código aberto e por estar em constante melhoria já merece uma boa nota. Para objetivos voltados para estudo e pesquisa, que é o meu caso, está sendo extremamente útil. Outro motivo que mereça uma boa nota é o fato dele poder ser executado em computadores não tão rápidos.

I have been a reasonably happy user of the QBlade Linux distro since early 2016, until now. I just updated my old iMac 2X Intel CPU w/ the latest memory saving Peppermint OS 10, and now nothing works. I Suspect it's the flat pack setup in Linux 5.0.0 (Ubuntu Mint variant Peppermint OS 10 is....). I any one home? Great promise, tarnishes TU Berlin's reputation a bit, especially the CFD Centre. Giddy up, if you plan on staying relevant in the Linux world. Otherwise it's back to Openfoam and Paraview.
