1 month is not a lot of time 
I think Ive just taken a 1 month break from this project 
One you have a design you can simulate it read the tongue from the forces and moment results control option in SimScale.
As for optimising, calculations go a long way however don’t leave it too long before simulating and validating your design, I came in confident of a solid design and actually my first design didn’t meet my expectations at all.
I think for the size of your wind turbine will mean there won’t be much twist, I would if I was on a time limit pick one aerofoil profile, calculate the angle at say 10 points add a few degrees for lift generation (say 5) put it into the cad software of your choice (I use OnShape and I have an aerofoil script there you can use) and then just generate your blade. Move to SimScale and then you will early on see what your doing write and what your doing wrong (you can use my setup for a template). One side point is I didn’t look much into the cord length distribution, if your using a single profile I think the rule is Cord=maxwidth/radius (double check that), giving you a thick base and thin tips.
You might realise after the simulation that certain things art correct or are slightly miscalculated, calculations are good but the can’t account for everything, SimScale however does a good job at that!
so a summary:
- Tip Speed Ratio (look this up, think you need to aim for about 6-10?)
- Blade Twist Calculations
- Blade Cord length Distribution Calculations
- CAD model
- CFD Analysis
- Recalculations using observations
- Modify CAD model
- Validate
- Structural Design (Its only a good design if it can be actually made)
- Build and test
I think calculations should take no longer than a day there is too much work to do after!! I use Matlab just to produce the mass amount of numbers but I’m sure if this is unfamiliar as it was in my first year excel will be fine.
Good luck, don’t hesitate if you have more questions or want to use any of my tools.
