System and method for detection and simulation of building models

Abstract:

Systems and methods for automatically simulating a building model. A method may include defining a plurality of space bodies, each of the plurality of space bodies representing a non-overlapping volume within a building. The method may also include determining a plurality of gaps between the plurality of space bodies. The method may further include obtaining a set of geometric rules that define simulation parameters as a function of the plurality of gaps. The method may further include generating a plurality of simulation parameters by evaluating the plurality of gaps against the set of geometric rules. The method may further include applying the simulation parameters to a sequence of simulation conditions to produce a simulation result.
