Application of the Top-down Method in the Large-scale Wind Turbine Design

摘要

In order to meet the short cycle and the high quality design demand in wind turbine research and development,a top-down design method is applied to the designing of large-scale wind turbine.By defining the design intent,setting up the skeleton model,sharing data,and parameterized modeling,the method makes the design works for different parts of the product parallel.And the designs of the products can be modified easily.It is proved by experiments that the method can shorten the design cycle for about 30％.
