Parametric Simulations

Set up the model once, extract hundreds of answers. Parametric 2D and 3D thermal-bridge studies that find the optimal detail across every variation you care about.

Discuss a study

A standard calculation answers one question about one detail. A parametric study answers it across a whole design space. We invest the time up front to build a fully parameterised model — then sweep insulation thickness, fixing type, material conductivity or geometry across hundreds of iterations automatically.

How it works

More setup up front, then hundreds of cheap iterations out the back.

  1. 01tune

    Define the variables

    We agree the parameters that matter — insulation depth, stud spacing, bracket material, fixing density, slab edge detail — and the performance targets.

  2. 02account_tree

    Build the parametric model

    The up-front investment: setting up a batch takes longer than a single calc — but it’s done once, then reused for every variation.

  3. 03stacks

    Run the batch

    Hundreds of iterations extracted from one model, each with its own Psi-value, χ-value and temperature factor (fRsi).

  4. 04picture_as_pdf

    Automatic per-iteration reporting

    Every variant gets its own PDF report — geometry, material build-up, boundary conditions, results and graphs — so the whole design space is documented.

  5. 05insights

    Optimisation output

    Trade-off curves and a recommended detail, evaluated on performance and on cost / constructability.

Advantages

trending_down

Economies of scale

The per-result cost falls sharply once the model is built — ideal for a developer’s standard house types or a manufacturer’s product range.

show_chart

Find the optimum, not just a pass

See the whole curve — e.g. Ψ versus insulation thickness — and choose the point where performance meets cost.

A documented audit trail

An auto-generated PDF per iteration, not a single number you have to take on trust.

Reusable assets

Once parameterised, re-running for a spec change or a new product variant is fast and cheap.

view_in_ar

2D and 3D

Applicable to linear junctions and complex point bridges alike.

Who it’s for

  • check_circleHouse-builders standardising details across plots
  • check_circleSystem, cladding, bracket and window manufacturers building a Psi-value library for their product range
  • check_circleDesigners value-engineering a detail without losing performance

A natural parametric candidate is rainscreen / SFS — bracket type and fixing density. Read the article, or see the underlying thermal bridging service.

Optimise once, reuse many times

Tell us the variables that matter and the typologies you repeat — we will scope a parametric study around them.
