Wind analysis geco
Hi all!
Currently i am trying for a masterproject architecture to create a building (form) which reacts and adapt to envirinmental influences like the sun and wind.
The geco plug-in with ecotect seems to be the best solution to do This.
I want that the building shape transformes due to the windforce/vector.
I want to know how you can achieve This. I can export the form to ecotect, but then? How do i run a wind analyses and how can i get the information back to grasshopper, so that the building form changes during time.
Maybe iT is easy, but I am not experienced with geco and ecotect.
Hope anyone can help me!
Thanks!

hi mariette,
in ecotect there is not a specific CFD module to perform Wind Analysis. There was a tool some,years ago (winair4) but is no more supported and no longer available. Probably the best solution is to link somehow the model with
Vasari (always from autodesk). I think there is a tool for import/export IFC format between gh and revit\vasari...but probably there is some specific component.
I hope I was helpful.
