3D Wind Fields — Wind Results on Balconies
Wind comfort and speed now projected on all building overhangs.
What’s new
ArchiWind now projects CFD results onto all surfaces of your building geometries — not just the top-down view. Overhangs, canopies, soffits, and any downward-facing or angled surface now display wind comfort and wind speed data directly in the 3D viewer. This is available for all DETAILED simulations.
Why it matters
The top-down projection has always been reliable for rooftops, terraces, and open areas. But modern architecture is full of overhanging volumes, covered walkways, and elevated platforms where wind behavior matters just as much — and where a vertical projection simply can’t reach. Now, every surface of your design tells the full wind story.
How it works
Behind the scenes, we interpolate results from the high-resolution CFD solution onto a uniformly remeshed version of your uploaded geometry. The result: accurate, physics-based wind data displayed on the clean surfaces you’re familiar with — no simulation mesh exposed, no visual artifacts. You see your design, covered in data.
What’s coming next
Façade-level analysis with pressure coefficient (Cp) visualization is in development. Stay tuned for vertical surface fields that will unlock a whole new dimension of wind analysis on your buildings.
Get started
Run a DETAILED simulation and open the 3D viewer — the new all-surface projection is already active. Look for wind comfort and wind speed fields in the Advanced Fields panel.
