Workflows, Hints, Tips & Advanced Modelling Approaches

At the heart of all analysis is the simulation model. Outlining early on in the project what analysis you want/need to carry out is key to help streamline your modelling approach. In this session we look at how you can utilise the Virtual Environment software to its full potential allowing you to create models quickly and easily, avoiding repetitive tasks and streamlining the model for simulation setup.

This session covers:

  • Complex geometry
  • Dormer Windows/Skylights/Pitched Roofs
  • Modelling Glazing Efficiently
  • Assigning Constructions/Macroflow Easily
  • Effective Room Grouping
  • Keyin Commands That Save Time
