IECWind is a utility program used to create wind files for the AeroDyn-based programs YawDyn, ADAMS/AeroDyn, and FAST.  IECWind creates wind files that model the extreme conditions outlined in IEC 61400-1, Ed. 3.0.

To use IECWind, download the self-extracting archive file, place it in an appropriate directory, then execute it.  Before using IECWind, it would be helpful to read the files: ReadMe.txt and InputDescription.txt.

IECWind is an easy program to use.  However, if you should have any difficulties using it, or if you encounter any bugs, please contact Dr. David J. Laino.  Please do not send inquiries about the IEC wind conditions, but instead refer to the IEC standard 61400-1, Ed. 3.0.
