Built with critical business issues and requirements in mind, the OpenBuildings software portfolio helps AEC professionals design projects of all sizes and complexities while ensuring optimized and error-free project delivery. Architects and engineers across the globe are taking advantage of affordable pricing options and an all-inclusive package of software, support, and training to execute world-class projects that help them stand out from their competitors and surpass client expectations.<\/p>\n
OpenBuildings Designer is a multi-discipline building design software that enables BIM workflows to provide information-rich models for the design, analysis, simulation, and documentation of buildings. It incorporates computational design and energy services for building performance evaluation. Immersing you in a 3D modeling environment, OpenBuildings Designer provides site content by referencing reality models. The application shares a catalog of design components across the project team, while built-in clash detection allows designers to coordinate building systems. The federated data approach to modeling and drawing management allows users to work on any size models simultaneously across distributed geographies.<\/p>\n
Develop and design buildings or facilities of any size or complexity using comprehensive architectural tools that includes a space planning catalog for ticket kiosks, gate turnstiles, passenger information displays, etc.<\/p>\n
Model steel, concrete, or timber structures from walls, foundations, columns, etc., and produce plans, framing layouts, sections, and elevations. Integrate with detailing applications including ProStructures, Bentley\u2019s steel and concrete design software.<\/p>\n
Design complex mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems, including lighting, power, fire detection, fully parametric air-handling, piping, and plumbing systems.<\/p>\n
Link specifications, engineering calculations, and equipment documentation to your intelligent building model, and produce high-quality, reliable, and up-to-date drawings that accurately represent your design.<\/p>\n
Generate 3D images of models, animations with life-like detail, and high-end photo-realistic renderings, which can aid in the further refinement of potential designs.<\/p>\n
Inform early design decisions by simulating and evaluating real-world building system performances including conceptual energy analysis to explore peak loads, annual energy calculations, energy consumptions, carbon emissions, and fuel costs.<\/p>\n
