How Ashes compares
Choosing an aeroelastic wind turbine simulation tool? Ashes is built around high-fidelity numerical results that we continuously benchmark against measurement campaigns and other established codes—and publish for you to inspect. Here is how it stacks up against other widely used tools.
Ashes vs OpenFAST
OpenFAST is NREL's free, open-source, command-line aeroelastic solver and a de-facto research standard. See how Ashes matches it on fidelity (and is benchmarked against it), while adding an interactive workflow, cloud scaling and commercial support. Read the comparison »
Ashes vs Bladed
DNV Bladed is a long-established commercial standard with a strong certification track record. See how Ashes compares on numerical fidelity, its public continuous-benchmarking suite, and day-to-day workflow. Read the comparison »
