Real-World Geometry

Most wind engineering studies require geometry that reflects an actual site - terrain with hills and valleys, surrounding buildings, and the structures under analysis. Unlike idealized test cases, these geometries are not drawn from scratch but assembled from external data sources such as satellite elevation models and municipal 3D city databases.

This section covers practical workflows for obtaining and preparing real-world geometry for use in AeroSim simulations. Each guide walks through the tools and steps needed to go from raw geographic data to simulation-ready STL files.
