Inputs Symbol definition
Location Done by using online map (BMI files) that holds information on geo-
referencing and coordinate system.
Elevation map allows for importing irregular grid data (elevation) and comprehensive
graphical representation of elevation data.
Roughness map -For digitizing areas (polygons), e.g. forests, water and cities
-makes it possible to digitize/edit contour lines on-screen for use as digital
height contour lines, roughness lines etc.

Weather data Online data gives access to data on the EMD On-line server.

Site Data input of local terrain (roughness etc.) and regional wind statistic.
Meteo Object to import measured wind data for generating wind statistics or directly for
energy calculation.
Turbine selection creates a single WTG or row with equal spacing.
Configuring solver . A major reason for calculating in the time domain is that it is now possible
to access good quality long term mesoscale wind data all over the world.
also local measurements can be used.
