Design with true 3D parametric modeling

• Develop even the most complex design models with a wide range of design modeling tools, including surface, mesh, feature, and solid modeling. Build parametric functional components with predefined variations to easily find and manage many similar components. Use drawing extraction tools which automatically immerse drawings within models for improved clarity and streamlined documentation workflows.

AECOsim Building Designer Capabilities

Analyze building system performance

• Simulate real-world performance and evaluate building system performances so you can quickly discover the best design choices. Inform early design decisions with conceptual energy analysis that provides peak loads, annual energy calculations, energy consumptions, carbon emissions, and fuel costs.

Collaborate across multi-discipline teams

• Includes tools for architectural, electrical, mechanical, and structural systems design in one application. Coordinate your designs better thanks to a common design environment and a streamlined workflow. Resolve clashes with built-in clash detection and share mark-ups of models and documentation across teams to reduce project errors.

Design buildings and facilities

• Develop and design buildings and facilities of any size and complexity with comprehensive architectural tools. Produce coordinated architectural documentation directly from the building model. Create floor plans, sections, elevations, and schedules for any architectural component.

Design building structures

• Model steel, concrete, and timber structures from walls, foundations, and columns to other structural components. Produce plans, framing layouts, sections, and elevations. Integrate with detailing applications including Bentley's ProStructures.

Design MEP systems

• Design complex MEP systems. Model fully parametric air-handling, piping, and plumbing systems. Design lighting, power, fire-detection, and other electrical subsystems.

Generate building documentation and reports

• Produce high-quality and reliable documents directly from your intelligent building model. Ensure that drawings are up to date and accurately represent your design by publishing design model views. Link specifications, engineering calculations, and equipment documentation to models and drawings to support building operations.

Refine design alternatives

• Iterate designs quickly by dynamically modeling or manipulating geometry. Discover more possibilities and explore a broad range of "what-if" alternatives in less time. Design with freedom and model anything of any form, size, and complexity without restrictions and limitations.

Visualize building designs

• Produce visualizations of models and further refine potential designs. Generate images and animations with life-like detail and high-end photo realistic renderings with no need for additional software.
