OpenBuildings Station Designer Focus
OpenBuildings Station Designer enables you to address essential project needs such as:
- Pedestrian simulation, integral to station design, is provided with the inclusion of LEGION Model Builder with your OpenBuildings Station Designer install.
- Mass modeling and space planning that occur in the early stages of their projects.
- Production of the design model including placement of structures, walls, windows, doors, casework, HVAC systems and components, and electrical systems and components.
- A ready to use catalog of station specific furniture, fixtures and equipment (e.g. ticket kiosks, gate turnstiles, passenger information displays).
- Computational Design Templates to generate station assets relative to linear alignments utilizing parametric design and change-propagation supporting exploration of design alternatives.
- Geographic Coordination provides design coordination with OpenRail Designer and OpenRoads Designer utilizing the geographic coordinate system.
- Production of project documentation such as drawings, schedules and reports throughout the project life cycle and beyond.
- Analysis capabilities ensure the building is structurally sound, energy efficient, and meets the architectural requirements created by its designers.
- Simulation capabilities such as energy analysis and clash detection for construction review and identify design deficiencies within the building model early in the design process.
- Supports the design of large, complex, and distributed models, and provides integrated visualization with the Luxology rendering engine.
