Calculations cannot be run in Batch mode.
Model linearisation is not available, except as a demo calculation.
The following post-processing calculations are not available, except as demo
calculations:
ultimate loads

linear model
The Extreme Load Extrapolation calculation is not available.
1.4 The Bladed Demonstration version
A demonstration version of Bladed is available.
A demo project, demo_a.prj, is supplied with Bladed and will be found in the installation
folder. This contains simplified details of a representative but artificial 3-bladed 2MW offshore
variable speed pitch regulated turbine. This can be used to run most of the available
calculations.
The demonstration version is restricted as follows:
Modal analysis calculation
Turbine details may not be changed
Turbulent wind generation
Turbulence details may not be changed
Steady calculations and simulations
Turbine details may not be changed; other calculation
details may be changed
Post processing calculations
Calculation details and input data may not be
changed. The Extreme Load Extrapolation calculation
is not available.
Calculations cannot be run in Batch mode.
Not allowed, but a sample report may be viewed.
Graphics: viewing calculation results
When running a calculation, a message box warns that the appropriate demo data will be
used for the calculation.
Other project files are also supplied for demonstration purposes. Although these can be
viewed, they cannot be used for running calculations.
