STRUCTURAL DESIGN SYSTEMS AND METHODS USING MODELING AND SIMULATION FOR IDENTIFYING EQUIPMENT IN FLOOR PLANS

摘要

Structural design systems, methods, and computer readable media for automatically positioning primary and auxiliary equipment in a floor plan are disclosed. The system may include at least one processor configured to: access the floor plan demarcating a plurality of rooms; assign functional requirements to each of the plurality of rooms; access at least one data structure containing technical specifications, compatibility rules, and locations for primary and auxiliary equipment; generatively analyze the floor plan using the functional requirements and the technical specifications to select and position in the floor plan primary equipment conforming to the functional requirements; and based on the selection and positioning of the primary equipment, use the compatibility rules and technical specifications to determine whether auxiliary equipment is required for each of the plurality of rooms and to select the auxiliary equipment conforming to the functional requirements of each of the plurality of rooms requiring auxiliary equipment.
