      Hi everybody!
      I'm very glad to be here.
      I'm Martina, i'm an architect.
      Because I'm studying the housing ventilation, I really need the Virtualwind plugin for SU.
      Unfortunaly, this page http://virtualwind.com has been closed down.
      Can anyone upload any trial versions of Virtualwind?
      Thanks in advanced.
      BR,
      M.

        hi,
        this is an email I received from them

        *%(#400080)[Goodday,

        We at Virtualwind are sorry to announce that we will be closing our doors on or before July 30, 2010, after which time we will cease to sell, distribute, or support Virtualwind. The Virtualwind website will remain active for an indeterminate period of time to provide access to the on-line training and support material.

        We would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank all of our customers and trial version users for their support and encouragement over this last year, and wish them all the very best. For further guidance on solutions to wind engineering challenges, please consult with our parent company, RWDI Inc.

        Best Regards,

        The Virtualwind Team]*

              please post back and let us know what you can do with it.

              I feel that if they are closing down... they should open up the source for us to play with. unless they sold it or were paid to close up shop.

                Thank you.
                I think they would like to change their soft into commercial service of their parent-company RWDI, instead of selling it to everybody for individual use.
                Using this plugin will be able to let me know the direction, speed of the wind flowing thru urban area, also it can visualize 3D wind flow.
                I know somebody here got the trial version. 😞 Can they help me ?. I badly need it.

                    Yeah man. I got it, but it was only a plugin folder to copy in to SU plugins and useless. When i pressed the button to lauch Virtualwind, i got warning message "can't not find C:\program files\virtualwind 3.0\bin\virtualwind.exe...." It also meant i had to install full trial.
                    Thanks anyway.

                        Martina,
                        I installed the trial version back then, it had to be activated with a link that the company emailed to me. It has since expired and doesn't work. I uploaded the whole program to Rapidshare a few months ago for another member, but he couldn't get it to work either, so I deleted it from my system.

                        I suggest contacting the parent company if you haven't already and see if they can help you.

                            Try this one: http://www.box.net/shared/cavyvg5ibu
                            It's about 168 MB and should be the 30 days trial. Don't know what's happened after.
                            I haven't packed it, so you can get a warning. ( msi installer)

                            Have fun

                                  Virtualwind has 'errors' in its code that misdefine or redefine other's classes - that can affect other scripts.
                                  See this thread for details and a replacement files to download, that will fix the issues... http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=331981#p331981
