Data-driven designers want to consider wind flow in their design process but resort to simulating end-stage designs with free but time-consuming tools or delegate it to experts. While expensive software offers relatively faster results, the cost doesn’t justify the number of simulations. Those mindful of expenses are always willing to sacrifice accuracy during the design process. This sparks an idea for a plugin for rhino3D, bringing fast fluid dynamic simulation (FFD) to designers. FFD quickly helps us understand wind flow, prioritizing speed over accuracy, accessible as programming libraries. Say hello to Oxpecker. Our Oxpecker helps you input your design & set the simulation’s accuracy, run the simulation and visualize the results all in less than a few seconds
