Pressure Coefficients on Building Facades for Building Simulation
March 31, 2020
Accurate wind pressure coefficients in thermal modelling software (building performance modelling) are critical to evaluating several key design outputs on buildings. The greatest impact of inaccurate wind pressure coefficients will be within the calculation of airflow through openings. Thus, ventilation, fresh air rates, cooling, and overheating assessments can all be adversely affected. Most standard energy/thermal software has an oversimplified treatment of wind pressure, which is also poorly understood and applied by software users.
SimScale can quickly and accurately calculate transient wind flows and pressures around buildings, and on building facades. These can be used as inputs for energy/thermal software, for overall more accurate building performance modelling experience.

“We are really impressed with the SimScale platform. Thanks to the platform’s ease of use, the professional support of SimScale engineers and the perfect communication with them, we were able to efficiently perform simulations and sort out our design problems. It’s hard to imagine how much physical prototyping time and measures we saved thanks to virtual prototyping.”
“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.”
With offices in Boston and Munich, SimScale is the world’s first production-ready SaaS application for engineering simulation. By providing instant access to computational fluid dynamics and finite element analysis, SimScale has moved high-fidelity physics simulation technology from a complex and cost-prohibitive desktop application only available to experts in large companies to a user-friendly web application, accessible to any designer and engineer in the world.
