4.1 Introduction to post-processing

Video: Types of post-processing calculations that can performed in Bladed 4

Key learnings

• The Basic Statistics calculation can be used to get the max, min and std dev of the signals of a calculation.
• The Auto Spectrum calculation can be used to get the power spectrum density of a signal. Useful to understand if you have resonances or to back-test the natural frequencies of components.
• The Rainflow Cycle Count calculation can be used to generate damage equivalent loads to understand fatigue life of turbines.
• The Ultimate Loads calculation can be used to understand the highest loads that have the potential to make a turbine fail.
• The Channel Combination calculation allows you to combine different signals, for example, to rotate the reference system by combining the X and Y axis.
