3D Modeling of Wind Turbine Blade Based on SolidWorks

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, the main design parameters of 750 kw horizontal-axis wind turbine wheel are computed based on simplified theoretical design model; The airfoil coordinates of the blade derived from Profili are spatial switched in Excel, then the spatial coordinates of every foline are obtained; In SolidWorks, the curves of foline outlines are drawn on the basis of former coordinates. Eventually, the 3D model of the blade is created by loft surfacing according to the foline outlines. The blade model created in this paper could be used in the coming finite element analysis.
