Flexcom Wind

Flexcom Wind is the new floating wind turbine modelling software developed by Wood Group’s Digital Solutions team. Although traditionally used in offshore oil and gas, Flexcom is a versatile application which is also used extensively in the renewable energy sector. In response to the growing interest in offshore wind, Wood Group established a technical advisory group from industry, and feedback received has been used to guide the development of Flexcom Wind. First launched in April 2017, further, more advanced versions of the software will be developed over time. Flexcom Wind comes at an affordable cost structure and has very flexible licensing options, ensuring that the product is readily accessible to all device designers, including fledgling start-ups and early stage concept developers. The software is suitable for all stages of device design, from conceptual prototypes right through to full scale versions.
