NuMAD shell7.src Ansys

Wind & Water Structural Analysis

Hello everyone,

I’m trying to analyze Sandia’s SNL61.5m blade in Ansys using Shell7.src or export the model to Ansys v24. When loading into APDL I got hundreds of error messages and couldn’t load the file properly. Does anyone have the same problem and could you please teach me how to solve this?

Best regards,
Hussam

Hussam,
NuMAD is released by our colleagues at Sandia National Laboratories, this is the NREL Forum. Also, Sandia has recently released a python version of NuMAD, with many bug fixes. I’d recommend starting there, see GitHub - sandialabs/pyNuMAD
I hope this helps!
Best regards,
Pietro
