Design Buildings Faster Through the Power of the Cloud

Thornton Tomasetti’s ‘Digital Wind Tunnel’ Accelerates Building Design

Part One: 3 March 2021
12 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. CET
LIVE PRESENTATION

Our guest speaker, Jeroen Janssen, Associate Director at Thornton Tomasetti leads the CORE Studio R&D Team. Mr. Janssen will share insights on how his team developed an in-house digital wind tunnel app by integrating SimScale with Grasshopper to accelerate their building design processes.

Part Two: 9 March 2021
12 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. CET
LIVE HANDS-ON WORKSHOP

Each attendee will have direct access to SimScale software and experts to complete their own modeling and simulation of a wind comfort analysis of a city center. Expert instructors will guide the workshop with step-by-step directions in an interactive environment that allows for discussion and Q&A.

Jeroen Janssen

Associate Director

Jeroen is an Associate Director and is leading the CORE studio team in London. CORE is Thornton Tomasetti’s Research and Development incubator, enabling collaboration with project teams and industry colleagues to drive change and innovation. Jeroen particularly focuses on the design of microclimates for urban spaces. During the early stages of a design, in-house developed digital models of wind simulations and solar and thermal radiation are used to analyze complex urban scenarios on master planning scale or at the level of individual development, thus ensuring comfortable spaces from the outset of the architectural design process

As one of five co-founders, Anatol started work on the backend and infrastructure of SimScale while studying Computer Science at TU Munich and Georgia Tech. Today, with SimScale being both on a sound technological footing and a successful business, Anatol is the Product Manager for SimScale's API to ensure customers’ needs are understood, addressed, and met.

What our customers are saying

“The SimScale platform has allowed us to develop and test scenarios including ventilation flow paths and understanding the dynamics between building fabric, airtightness, window natural ventilation design, and CO2 concentrations in various utilisation scenarios. The platform has given us quality, visually digestible output to inform decision making and to compare results against our monitored data from our extensive post-occupancy studies. Working with SimScale has allowed us to study our learning spaces in a way we never have before. It has helped inform us on which design strategies may provide the biggest impact on performance. The visual outputs have real value, not just in terms of informing our decision-making, but potentially in communicating how classrooms can work and feel to clients and stakeholders.”

Robert White Technical Associate and CEPH Designer

“When I started with SimScale, I knew from my previous experience how simulations are structured and work, but I had forgotten some details over the years. The great tutorials, documentation, and personal conversations with support have brought me up to date within 2 months of using SimScale. I am now well versed and use SimScale even with smaller problems to confirm my pre-calculations and to quickly compare design studies.”
