In this 30-minute SimScale webinar, we take a look at how airflow simulation helps architects and civil engineers manage the risk of wind loads across all stages of the building design process.

By watching, you will learn:
How architects can make informed design decisions with respect to the overall building shape very early in the conceptual design phase thanks to virtual wind simulations

How civil engineers can generate accurate wind load information with simulations instead of using tabular values from standards and codes

How you can make your design process more agile with the help of Computational Fluid Dynamics software in the web browser. No expensive hardware, no wasted time, and risk-free.
