About Ramboll Whitby Bird
Ramboll Oil & Gas has 50% of the international market for offshore wind platforms and 75% of the market in the UK.
Challenge
Needed a CAD package for designing the foundations that support as many as 500 wind turbines.
Solution
SolidWorks enabled the company to calculate the operation of 100 turbines at once. SolidWorks Simulation enabled Ramboll Whitby Bird to analyze factors such as wave loads. SolidWorks allows rapid production of designs that take all factors into considerations. The company can avoid clashes that can occur when different contractors are working on the same assembly.
