The Nuada.CFD app in Rhino is a microclimate modeling tool developed by CORE studio at Thornton Tomasetti and SimScale. Nuada.CFD is designed to allow architects and engineers to perform fast and powerful microclimate design simulations fully within Rhino and runs on a HPC cloud environment without needing any hardware.
The app uses the powerful CAD tools in Rhino® and integrates SimScale’s fast and accurate Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) solver Pacefish® for transient wind studies. Architects and engineers now have an easy-to-use and robust design tool for:
- Pedestrian wind comfort studies for early stage design insights
- Simple building aerodynamics and wind studies on the ground, rooftop, terrace, and balconies
- Analysis of wind mitigation measures including trees and vegetation
The app is free to download, but you will need a SimScale account with API access to run the simulations. More info on the sign-up process and pricing can be found here: Sign up here!
