Adsimulo - An Expert System for the Design of Passenger Lift Services

摘要

With computing power ever cheaper and more powerful the author has led a development team to produce an independent design application that ensures that the most space efficient "elevatoring" solutions are identified quickly and automatically for any proposed building. The application is claimed to be a world's first and is also capable of delivering visualisation of passengers using the lift services as well as generating a generic BIM output file of the lift installation for the building designer. The simulations run very fast and typically can handle 1500 hours of simulations in around two minutes. Such gains in productivity are vital for the future of independent consultants to ensure clients receive best advice promptly and cost-effectively.
