Good day my fellow shapers, tutors, and students, I wanted a little help on how to simulate a drawing I made (a wind turbine).
I can't seem to find any tools to lead me to simulate the design.
I use an HP Probook 4540s, i5, and windows 11. I hope o hear from you guys soon.

We will need a bit more detail, are you trying to do an airflow simulation? I'm afraid that is beyond the abilities of onshape simulation at the moment. You could take a look at the app store, perhaps onscale or airshaper could help. If you are just attempting a simple static analysis, what are the loading conditions?
Or are you wishing to just animate it, to see it spin?
Since you're working from a laptop, you might want to consider a cloud-based simulation tool like SimScale. There's no need for powerful hardware when using SimScale (especially since airflow simuations can be very demanding). All you need is an internet connection. In SimScale you can carry out a structural or a CFD simulation with rotating parts like a wind turbine. Furthermore, SimScale has a built-in Onshape plugin. You can directly import your Onshape parts into SimScale with one-click. No need to download and reupload CAD files. Give it a go!
You can have a look at this SimScale project for more details on simulating wind turbines: https://www.simscale.com/projects/jprobst/simulation_of_the_airflow_around_a_wind_turbine/
Happy simulating!
