Procedural modeling buildings for finite element method simulation

Abstract Finite element methods for heat simulation at urban scale require mesh-volume models, where the meshing process requires a special attention in order to satisfy FEM requirements. In this paper we propose procedural volume modeling approach automatic creation of buildings, which are suitable simulations scale. We develop basic rule-set library and building generation procedure that guarantee conforming meshes. way, models can be easily built energy analysis. Our test-case shows street created with prototypes fulfill all requirements being loaded numerical platform such as Cast3M (www-cast3m.cea.fr).
