Case Study: Artisan Architects achieves faster sustainable building design validation with Hexagon scSTREAM

Artisan Architects delivers sustainable building design through simulation

Artisan Architects Company, an architecture firm based in Bangkok, faced challenges performing high-speed Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations for sustainable building design. Their existing software was slow, especially with complex thermal parameters and large-scale urban wind analysis, and struggled with incompatible model file formats, which severely hampered the gridding and meshing process.

To overcome this, the firm worked with vendor Hexagon and implemented its scSTREAM software. The solution's structured mesh function drastically reduced meshing time by about half and accepted various file formats, enabling easy design validation. Hexagon's tool provided high-speed simulations, allowing the team to iterate quickly on designs and produce compelling visual results for clients, ultimately leading to more effective and sustainable building solutions.
