Accelerating Wind Load Analysis for Building Design with AI-Powered CAE ー OBAYASHI CORPORATION
OBAYASHI CORPORATION
Architecture | Wind Load Analysis | RICOS Lightning
OBAYASHI CORPORATION began evaluating RICOS Lightning to predict wind loads on buildings using machine learning.
Wind load assessments typically rely on wind tunnel testing or computational fluid dynamics. However, evaluating multiple wind directions and building geometries can require substantial simulation time.
The project aims to use RICOS Lightning to predict wind loads rapidly, enabling engineers to compare a wider range of conditions in less time and improve the efficiency of the building design process.
