Parametric starter kits
Ready-to-run parametric templates that embed common simulation patterns for rapid prototyping of environmental and spatial scenarios.
Flood inundation starter kits help model water rise stages across terrain over time, supporting resilience planning. The template imports DEM data and applies simple depth-duration curves, with time steps tied to storm event durations. Users adjust roughness zones and retention volumes to trigger overflow events and trace flow paths. Simulation outputs include depth maps at hourly intervals, useful for staging temporary barriers or pump placement.
Solar path overlays in the kit generate annual sun-angles overlaid on building volumes or urban canyons, using daylight hours as time slices. Each path runs in 15-minute increments, with intensity-weighted exposure mapped onto geometry. Designers can toggle season-specific thresholds to identify shading conflicts or glare zones. The solver uses a ray-tracing backend optimized for speed over photorealism, favoring speed for early-stage feedback.
Equipment staging templates model crane reach, rigging paths, and clearance envelopes across work zones over a project timeline. The kit includes parametric cranes, rigging slings, and temporary platforms, all responsive to timeline changes. Users set constraint zones—like occupied floors or live traffic lanes—and the solver flags unsafe overlaps in real-time. Solver settings allow stepping through weekly phases or fast-forwarding to milestone dates.
