Engineering the Future: The Socio-Economic Case for Gender Equality

Technology and engineering suffer from a lower participation rate of women, holding back the pace at which these sectors can advance and their overall contribution to the economy. In the U.S. today, women account for 47% of total employment, but just 27% of manufacturing employment.

Ready to Build Your Dream Home? Your Complete Guide to Construction Financing

whitePaper | July 2, 2022

A pre-approval will determine if you can realistically afford to make your dream come true based on your current assets and existing debt. (The last thing you want is to sell your current home or be in the middle of drawing up plans before learning that you don’t qualify for the loan.) A pre-approval also provides the opportunity to ask questions about the construction process: what’s involved, what you are responsible for and what to expect of the builder.

Parametric Modeling Innovates Bridge Design

whitePaper | January 6, 2020

Bridge design is no simple matter. While traditional 3D modeling software is useful for buildings, these structures don’t present the same challenges that bridge design does. Jalpesh Patel, Senior Technical Consultant with Allplan explains why: Buildings are mainly linear, vertical structures with minimal to no obstruction. Bridges, on the other hand, are non-linear, horizontal structures that must weave through obstacles, existing structures, and multiple right-ofway restrictions.

Microclimate Simulation for Urban Design

whitePaper | June 9, 2022

The built environment needs continuous adaptation to global population changes, the adverse effects of climate change, and evolving occupant requirements. To meet these evolving challenges, architects and engineers require access to highfidelity design simulation tools to accurately predict complex behavior in buildings and cities. SimScale enables architects and engineers to integrate physics-based simulation into their entire design workflow starting from the earliest stages where critical design decisions are made. Rapid assessments of the microclimate impacts on design for example, are now possible using the simple and intuitive workflow in SimScale
