FlowUrja Studio is a free, native desktop GUI for OpenFAST and TurbSim. Generate turbulent wind fields, run aeroelastic simulations, and analyse results — all without touching the command line.
Set simulation parameters, choose wind source, name the case, and trigger a run — all from one view.
Inspect TurbSim binary wind fields with a live turbulence cross-section heatmap and per-frame statistics.
Verify the σu distribution across rotor height — confirms gTI gradients and IEC NTM targets are met.
Sweep wind speed, turbulence class, shear, and gTI in factorial or paired mode. Live case count updates as you type.
Multiple OpenFAST processes run simultaneously with live console output and progress tracking per case.
Plot any output channel against another across a full batch — identify load trends and outliers at a glance.
Load and compare .outb output files with time-series plots, channel statistics, and spectral analysis.
Access every OpenFAST sub-module input file — InflowWind, AeroDyn, ElastoDyn, ServoDyn, and offshore modules — in one place.
A complete simulation workflow without switching tools or writing scripts.
Configure TurbSim parameters — wind speed, turbulence class, shear exponent, grid resolution — and generate IEC-compliant binary wind fields. Run batch sweeps across many conditions simultaneously.
Set up OpenFAST with a guided module interface. Configure InflowWind, AeroDyn, ElastoDyn, ServoDyn, and offshore modules. Run single cases or launch a full simulation matrix in parallel.
Load OpenFAST .outb output files, plot time series and spectra, compare cases side-by-side, and export to CSV — without leaving the app.
Everything you need to go from wind field to results — ready out of the box, with fewer errors along the way.
Includes NREL 5 MW, IEA 10 MW, 15 MW, and 22 MW reference turbine models. Start a simulation in seconds — no manual file setup required.
Structured input forms validate parameters before a run starts. Bundled binaries are version-matched — no PATH configuration, no compatibility issues between OpenFAST and TurbSim.
A lean native binary with bundled OpenFAST and TurbSim. Nothing to install separately — just download and run.
Supports gradient turbulence intensity (gTI) — a vertical σu profile across the rotor disk for more realistic atmospheric boundary layers. Learn more →
