wind engineering virtual prototyping

Virtually Test Building Designs with Online CFD Simulation

Analyze the Effects of Wind on Buildings and Urban Areas with CFD Simulation in the Web Browser to Predict Wind Load and Pedestrian Wind Comfort

 

Simple Yet Extremely Powerful

Easy Setup

Traditional, on-premises engineering simulation tools are difficult to learn. SimScale uses a lean simulation workflow that guides you step-by-step through the design testing process, everything online. With the help of ready-to-use CFD, FEA and thermal analysis templates, you never have to start from scratch.

World-Class Support

Your success is our priority. Our experienced team of engineers is here to answer any of your questions in real time via email, phone, or chat directly from within the platform. This way, you can take advantage of simulation technology for wind analysis and building design independent of your expertise level.

From Weeks To Minutes

With SimScale, you can test multiple design versions in parallel, online, to quickly identify the best-performing one. Even for large or complex architectural designs, the access to up to 96 cores and real-time simulation allows you to get the results of your wind engineering study faster than ever before.

Pedestrian Wind Comfort

Ensure Pedestrian Comfort and Safety in Urban Areas with Wind Analysis

With the complexity of modern urban areas, pedestrian wind environment simulations become a critical factor in urban design, helping to ensure the overall well-being, safety and comfort in pedestrian zones. Predicting and properly assessing the airflow around a building is a difficult and expensive process when using the experimental approach. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation is a practical, cost-efficient, and time-efficient alternative to the field measurements or wind tunnel tests.

Predict Wind Load on Buildings

Skyscrapers have a high risk of being affected by wind, as air pushing against the surface of a tall tower creates vortices that can shake and make buildings vibrate. With SimScale, you can predict and optimize dynamic wind loads on high-rise buildings, test architectural designs and evaluate the flow over constructions as well as the bending and the twisting phenomenon on structures in order to mitigate the effects in the early stages of the building design process.

"To get the same results for our project with a physical test, it would take us months and would cost anywhere from $7k to $15k. With SimScale, we could just run a virtual test at the office in the web browser, which took only 18 minutes."
