Base module
The Base module is included with all licences, which permits the use of the following general functionality:
- General GUI use
- Steady state calculations
- Modal analysis, Simulations, Turbulence, Waves, Post-processing
- Running jobs using Batch
- Use of the Project and Batch APIs
Note that Processor-only licences do not support GUI use, and only permit basic Batch usage.
Only the Base module is included in the Onshore Wind Loads Analysis package available on the Veracity Marketplace.
Optional modules
In addition to the Base module, the following optional modules are also available (applicable usage scenarios are indicated). Click the module name for further details about the module.
