RHINO PLUGIN: NUADA.CFD
The Nuada.CFD app (beta) in Rhino is a microclimate modeling tool developed by Thornton Tomasetti and SimScale. Nuada.CFD is designed to allow architects and engineers to perform fast and powerful microclimate design simulations fully within Rhino.
The app uses the powerful CAD tools in Rhino® and integrates SimScale’s fast and accurate lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) solver Pacefish® for transient wind studies. Architects and engineers now have an easy-to-use and robust design tool for:
Users have access to industry-leading computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software through a guided and easy-to-use interface in Rhino. Designers can complete all steps of the wind simulation without leaving the Rhino environment, including the setup of climate data and location, running the simulation, and visualization of results. The new app is ideal for:
Nuada.CFD works on a simple usage based pricing model and users are provided with a GPUh consumption estimate before running any simulation. By harnessing the SimScale API, Nuada.CFD runs all CFD simulations in the cloud thereby negating the need for expensive hardware.
The pricing for using the app is transparent and based on consumption:
Please note that the Nuada.CFD app does not include several features available with a SimScale Professional license, such as technical support, collaboration tools, and advanced analysis options. If your project requires these capabilities, we recommend using the Pedestrian Wind Comfort solver.
Please note that the Nuada.CFD app is currently in development and offers limited functionality. However, designers can already access the app and begin creating their own projects in just a few simple steps.
