Large Office Building on Michigan Tech University Campus This thermal model of the Raymond L. Smith Mechanical Engineering building illustrates the development of a comprehensive thermal and flow model with transient environmental loading. Wind flow data was computed in Fluent software and imported into RadTherm for comprehensive diurnal thermal analysis with solar shadowing animations and multilayer walls. Greenhouse effects are accurately captured for accurate zone analysis.
Residential Dwelling Illustrates the development of a residence model with transient environmental loading. Solar shadow animations and multilayer walls/roofing.
Stonehenge An interesting nod to the advanced technology of times gone by. Actual shadows illustrate the effects of global position in our natural environment tab.
Oscillating Room Heater This advanced model incorporates movement of the heater geometry to capture the shifting radiation loads. The movement was setup through RadTherm's C++ API and post-processed in EnSight(tm) software. Note: moving models can also be done without automation.
Cathedral of Christ the Light The Cathedral of Christ the Light is located in Oakland, California. Built from wood and glass, the cathedral houses 1,400 people in a shape resembling the intersection of two circles.
