Eddy3D Modules
The Grasshopper plugin currently contains three modules, please see below.
-
Eddy3D Outdoor
Decoupled microclimate simulations, via wind and mean radiant temperature simulations. Driven by OpenFOAM and Radiance.
-
Eddy3D Outdoor+
Fully coupled microclimate simulations, including wind, radiation, heat, and moisture transfer, driven by
urbanMicroclimateFoamby ETH Zurich Building Physics.
-
Eddy3D Indoor
Modeling airflow, moisture content, and passive scalars in indoor spaces.
