Wind Fields Module:When upgrading an old project which has been run with forest it will not run properly in 7.0.
Workaround: Rerun the terrain model .
Versions Affected: WindSim 7.0.0
Wind Fields Module:When using forest and segregated solver only the source terms for the velocities are applied. The source term via porosity is neglected.
Workaround: None.
Versions Affected: WindSim 7.0.0
Wind Fields Module:The parallel solver is not working properly with temperature activated.
Workaround: None.
Versions Affected: WindSim 7.0.0
Objects Module:Terrain complexity is not written for non-integer hub heights like 80.5 m.
Workaround: Use integer numbers
Versions Affected: WindSim 7.0.0
Energy Module:When upgrading an old project which has been run with individual density correction the upgraded project will use a different density correction than before.
Workaround: Use the “Individual 3” density correction to obtain the same results as in the old version
Versions Affected: WindSim 7.0.0

Versions Affected: WindSim 7.0.0
Losses&Uncertainties:The sensitivity factor is not calculated in the right way.
Workaround: Use the WindSim_core.exe from 6.2 to run the energy module and afterwards run the losses&uncertainties. Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\WindSim\WindSim 7.0.0\bin rename WindSim_core.exe to WindSim_core_7.exe and place the WindSim_core.exe from C:\Program Files (x86)\WindSim\WindSim 6.2.0\bin there. Run energy and losses and uncertainties and then rename WindSim_core.exe to WindSim_core_6.exe and WindSim_core_7.exe to WindSim_core.exe. If you don’t have the WindSim_core.exe for WindSim 6.2 just contact support@windsim.com.
