Abstract
A method of evaluating a design model, including: providing a design model; simulating a behavior of at least one digital user in said model; simulating at least one environmental effect modulated by said model and affecting or affected by at least one of said at least one digital user; and evaluating said design model based on a result of said simulations.
Claims26
A computerized method of evaluating a design model using a processor, comprising:
- providing a design model representing a physical space;
- simulating, using said processor, a behavior of at least one digital user in said design model, said behavior being set by a processing unit;
- simulating at least one environmental effect modulated by said design model and affecting or affected by said at least one digital user;
- and
- automatically evaluating said design model based on a result of said simulations.
Apparatus for model evaluation, embodied in a device, comprising:
- a model editing module which creates and edits a design model representing a physical space;
- a computing unit which simulates a behavior of at least one digital user;
- a digital user simulation model which simulates the interaction of said at least one digital user with said model;
- an environmental simulation module which simulates an effect of an environment on said model and on said at least one digital user;
- an output module configured to generate an output reflecting an outcome of said effect.
