SensoTwin - Wind Turbine Rotor Blade Lifetime Extrapolation

The following software package was developed by the Project SensoTwin and contains both the UI and python package versions of the remaining lifetime extrapolation of a wind turbine rotor blade.

Workflow execution is based on the workflow framework pyiron developed by the initiative Plattform Material Digital.

Visualisation is based on JupyterLab and PyVista and Matplotlib for 3D/2D data respectively.

FEM simulation is achieved via Calculix.

Documentation

For more information on the software package and the project it was developed in, see the Wiki.

Installation

The system was developed and tested on Ubuntu 22.04, but contains no platform specific functionality.

  1. Install Conda/Mamba package manager (Mamba preferred)

  2. Clone Repository

  3. Create execution environment via install/sensotwin.yml

    mamba env create -f install/sensotwin.yml

Execution

  1. Activate execution environment

    mamba activate sensotwin

  2. Start JupyterLab

    jupyter lab

  3. Follow instructions at the top of the 5 numbered notebooks

Notebook summary

  1. Definition of material curing behaviour

  2. Definition of component manufactoring defects

  3. Configuration of operational parameters

  4. Execution of simulation and visualization of results

  5. Pure python example workflow with no UI for automation purposes
