Conceptual Energy Analysis

Perform energy analysis on conceptual models quickly and easily, before any detailed design work begins.

Note: To use this feature, you must sign in to Autodesk web services by clicking ServicesServices Sign In, and entering the User ID and password associated with your Autodesk account.

Create a mass model, define analysis settings, and submit a simulation request over the internet. When an alert appears, the simulation is complete and ready for viewing. You can also display multiple simulations for side-by-side comparisons. Use the simulations to make decisions that move your project towards sustainable design.

Conceptual energy analysis provides early estimates for conceptual models before any detailed modeling occurs. For in-depth analysis of a detailed model, export the model to gbXML and use a third-party application to perform an energy analysis.
