ABOUT VIRTUALWIND 2.0
The core of the new Virtualwind 2.0 product release contains the same robust Virtualwind Solver that has enabled architectural and environmental wind engineering studies over the past several years on the most advanced structures in the world. The enhancements in Virtualwind 2.0 provide the user with significant features, benefits and value.
The advantages of Virtualwind include:
 |
Features and Benefits - The Virtualwind front-end is available as a plug-in to Google SketchUp. It appears as an added set of Virtualwind-specific icons and menus. Within Google SketchUp you can import and edit models from the Google 3D Warehouse. If you prefer to use models from 3D modeling tools other than SketchUp, you can import STL models directly into Virtualwind. When you are ready to start running your Virtualwind simulation, simply click on the "Launch Virtualwind" icon in the SketchUp Plug-In toolbar or on your desktop.Read more...

Enhanced Flow Visualizations - Enhanced flow visualization options have been added, which provide you with a broad selection of wind flow representations. These new flow visualizations enable you to more quickly identify potential problem areas in architectural designs. Flow visualizations can be output as animations (AVI files), or individual frames at any point in the simulation can be output as still images (PNG files).

Value to Users - The new Virtualwind product offers significant value to users. Cost of model development has been significantly reduced. Ease-of-use reduces the time required to execute wind simulations, thereby making faster project turn-times possible. Since wind models can be created quickly and inexpensively, it is now possible to engage architects and engineers earlier, and more often, in the design process.

 |
Pricing - Virtualwind offers a broad range of flexible licensing options, depending upon your project requirements. These options range from single-users through multi-seat configurations for larger enterprises. We also offer both a Standard and Pro version, depending on the size of projects and the computational performance required.
|
 |
System Requirements - The current release of Virtualwind supports Windows XP, both 32-bit and 64-bit editions. On 64-bit Windows, Virtualwind will run as a 32-bit application. Virtualwind also runs on Macs with Windows emulation. Virtualwind is a graphics-intensive simulation package. The minimum and recommended system parameters for use with Virtualwind are . . .
