Industrial Simulation Virtual Workshop
Digital Innovations in the Design of Sustainable Buildings and Structures
Presented in collaboration with:
Our guest speakers, Eugene Cullity and Ben Bleckly, both Sciences Engineers from Mott MacDonald showcase the value of using cloud-based CFD to engineer innovative solutions for sustainable buildings, stadiums, and other structures. The presentation focuses on high-value projects where simulation is critical to the design and performance of major buildings. Case studies include:
1) a stadium where pitch/field health and wind comfort are modeled, and
2) a simulation of ventilation and comfort in large transit structures like airports and subway stations.
Sciences Engineer
Having studied engineering and physics at the University of Adelaide, Ben joined Mott MacDonald to advance their wind engineering and CFD capabilities. He has worked on projects both in Australia and globally (including UK, Europe, Asia, and North America) providing CFD solutions to a wide range of applications.
Sciences Engineer
Based in Adelaide, Australia, Eugene is a Building Sciences Engineer and CFD specialist who works with designers and clients to improve building performance, enable materials savings, and facilitate design optimization. Experience includes pedestrian wind comfort, wind loading, thermal comfort, and pollution dispersion applications.
“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.”
“Smartlouvre decided to recruit the expertise of SimScale because SimScale recognized the unique nature of the product and the fact that its performance was complex and challenging to simulate. SimScale’s expertise in the architecture, engineering, and construction sector meant they had a clear appreciation of all the challenges with simulating MicroLouvre performance criteria.”
SimScale is the world’s first cloud-native SaaS engineering simulation platform, giving engineers and designers immediate access to digital prototyping early in the design stage, throughout the entire R&D cycle, and across the entire enterprise. By providing instant access to a single fluid, thermal, and structural simulation tool built on the latest cloud computing technology, SimScale has moved high-fidelity physics simulation technology from a complex and cost-prohibitive desktop application to a user-friendly web application, accessible to any designer and engineer in the world.
