Building Quieter & Healthier Cities

Building healthier, smarter, and more resilient cities through virtual testing of 3D virtual twins of the city and providing citizens with a healthy and sustainable environment. New configurations, scenarios and impact of ideas/decisions can be simulated and optimized reliably with unique granularity in Dassault Systèmes 3D virtual twin of the cities to increase the safety and comfort of the citizens and mitigate any risks and negative impacts. Also, the impacts of these projects can be effectively communicated with citizens and other stakeholders using the simulation results.

Enhancing Indoor Air Quality for Safer Public Spaces

Creating safe environments to resume everyday life is increasingly important. This experience has highlighted that our infrastructure was not adequately prepared, and Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) has become a top priority for everyone.

In various enclosed environments such as schools, theaters, airports, and public transport, airborne contaminants can increase due to improper ventilation or HVAC system designs.

SIMULIA CFD/Fluid solutions are best-in-class for accurately predicting droplet transport by airflow. Our solutions can reveal the invisible, helping us assess potential risks, devise strategies to minimize those risks (such as HVAC system configurations, air purifiers, and natural ventilation), and communicate safer outcomes to the public via high-quality rendered animations powered by science.
