FOCUS 6 is the integrated modular tool to design wind turbines and wind turbine components like rotor blades. For more than a decade, FOCUS is being used by the international wind turbine industry.
There are numerous separate software tools available to design wind turbines. The integrated modular tool FOCUS integrates various tools into one consistent user interface and provides consistent data. Without the need of manually converting data between tools during the design process, a shorter turnaround time can be achieved while reducing the risk of errors and inconsistent data. FOCUS uses a database, allowing concurrent design by multiple designers and tracking of design changes.
