Identify the various analyses available through Forma.
Transcript
00:03
The Analysis tools in Autodesk Forma enable you to test and understand your proposals
00:09
during the early planning stages of the design process.
00:13
With a project already open, in the right panel, you can access the various analyses.
00:21
Hover your cursor over the analysis icons to see what each one focuses on.
00:27
Click Area metrics, if it is not already displayed.
00:31
Default metrics are displayed here, with some that are tailored to certain geographies.
00:37
However, the metrics are yours to configure, depending on your needs.
00:42
Open the Units tab to review any units within the project.
00:46
Then, open the Parking tab to get relevant parking metrics,
00:51
including the number of parking spots and access driveways.
00:55
You can also click Sun analysis to analyze sun hours.
00:59
The sun analysis measures the amount of time in sunlight at a given date for points covering the ground and the buildings in a proposal.
01:07
The Daylight potential analysis uses Vertical Sky Component (VSC) measurements
01:15
to provide you with insights into the daylight performance of your proposal buildings.
01:19
The Wind analysis is a powerful tool for early phase assessment of your site for various effects caused by wind.
01:27
Two assessment methods are available: an AI-powered rapid analysis that provides quick, directional results,
01:35
and a more detailed simulation suitable for documentation purposes.
01:41
To ensure reliability, the analysis has been benchmarked against several engineering consultancies,
01:47
as well as academic benchmarks.
01:50
The Microclimate analysis computes the perceived temperature of outdoor spaces.
01:56
By combining the results of the sun, wind, and daylight analyses, with localized weather and climate data,
02:04
Forma can create a comprehensive map of the local climate conditions on your site.
02:10
It also provides disaster testing by creating future scenarios that might apply to your site.
02:17
Rapid operational energy analysis predicts the energy it will take to operate the proposed building,
02:24
including lighting, heating and cooling, and powering appliances.
02:29
The Noise analysis provides insights into the noise caused by road and rail traffic near your site.
02:37
As with wind, there is a rapid and detailed version available depending on your assessment needs.
02:43
Solar energy analysis lets you identify which façades or roofs have the most exposure to sun radiation.
02:50
It also allows you to estimate the annual potential electricity production from solar panels.
02:56
Finally, you can also access analyses by extensions.
03:01
The analyses in Forma are fast and easy to use,
03:06
meaning you do not need in-depth technical expertise to run an analysis,
03:10
making them ideal during the early stages of project planning.
