Vasari: Wind and Sun Analysis



Retrieve the location. Butler MO






For some reason I could not retrieve the mapping 
from google,but I will still insert the blank image.




Now with a surface to work on I can create a 
massing model.

Butler, MO on March 20 at 1:00 pm.
Butler, MO on March 20 at 5:00 pm.
Sun sets at 6:22 pm.


Now for wind simulation just load your massing model 
into the wind tunnel. Here the wind is hitting the building 
from the South. The height the wind will hit the building
at is set to 6 feet.


Now the wind is shown vertically coming from the West. 

Here is wind in 3d moving throughout the building simulated 
with flow lines.


With Vasari's new wind simulation program it is very easy to
understand everything you need to know about your building 
and how it is affected by the wind.
