Twisted building analysis using Marc-scFLOW

Modern super-tall buildings are susceptible to wind-induced motions, usually due to their slenderness and height.

With recent advancements in construction and material technology, super-tall structures are designed with strong, lightweight materials, enhancing the implications of wind-induced motions.

Structural serviceability is one of the main concerns of slender super-tall structures as they experience low frequency and low acceleration building vibrations, affecting occupant comfort

scSTREAM - robust structured based CFD solver coupled with Marc- nonlinear FE solver, can help to perform detailed analysis and understand effect of wind or cyclone on such tall building, improving design and robustness.
