Design better wind turbines—faster and with confidence
Ashes gives you high-fidelity aeroelastic simulations for onshore and offshore wind turbines—so you can design, validate, and optimize with precision.
Used by engineers and researchers worldwide, it combines advanced physics with practical workflows to accelerate your entire design process.
From concept to validated design—without switching tools
Ashes integrates the full simulation stack into one platform:
- Structural dynamics
- Aerodynamics
- Hydrodynamics
- Control systems
No fragmented workflows. No manual stitching.
High-fidelity physics models you can trust
Simulate real-world turbine behavior with advanced engineering models:
- Nonlinear structural modeling
- Detailed aerodynamic loads
- Hydrodynamic and soil interaction for offshore systems
- Coupled multi-physics simulations
Translate complex physics into reliable design decisions.
Validated & continuously benchmarked
High fidelity only matters if you can trust it. We continuously benchmark Ashes against measurement campaigns and other established codes—and publish the results for you to inspect:
- OC3, OC4 and OC6 offshore code-comparison projects
- DTU 10-MW, IEA 15-MW and IEA 22-MW reference turbines, and the NREL 5-MW
- Cross-checks against OpenFAST, OpenSees and analytical wave models
Built for offshore and floating wind
Model the challenges others simplify:
- Floating turbine dynamics
- Wave and current loading
- Soil-structure interaction
- Environmental conditions across scenarios
Design with confidence in the most demanding environments.
Advanced analysis—without the overhead
- Fatigue and lifetime analysis
- Load case evaluation
- Extreme condition simulations
Go from raw model → actionable insight faster.
Scalable performance with cloud computing
- Parallel processing
- Cloud-enabled computation
- Batch simulation workflows
Scale from single runs to large design studies effortlessly.
Flexible workflows for engineers and researchers
- Scriptable interfaces (Python integration)
- Command-line control
- Custom simulation pipelines
Use it as a tool—or as a foundation for your own systems.
Built for collaboration
- Cloud storage and model sharing
- Reproducible simulation setups
- Centralized project access
Who it’s for
- Wind turbine OEMs → accelerate design cycles
- Consultants → deliver validated results faster
- Researchers → run advanced simulations with full control
Replace fragmented simulation stacks
Instead of combining multiple solvers, custom scripts, and disconnected tools, use a single, integrated platform designed specifically for wind turbine engineering.
