The presentation held at the Simpack User Meeting 2014, in Augsburg, by the University of Stuttgart — Stuttgart Wind Energy (SWE) @ Institute of Aircraft Design, illustrates various projects which have been simulated using Simpack. These are:

• FLOATGEN: With partners such as GAMESA, IDEOL, University of Stuttgart, Ecole Centrale de Nantes, demonstrating the technical and economic feasibility of fitting a 2 MW turbine model on a floating platform

• Voith Tidal Hydroelasticity: With partners such as Voith Hydro Ocean Current Technologies, University of Stuttgart, concentrating on the development and application of an FSI environment with coupled MBS-CFD for modeling of Tidal Turbines

• LARS: With partners such as SkyWind GmbH, DLR Braunschweig, University of Stuttgart
  focusing on the development of an active load reduction device LARS at the hub for a 2-bladed wind turbine
