Elevcon 2012 – 22-24 May 2012
Leading experts from within the vertical transportation industry will be speaking at Elevcon 2012, the 19th world congress of the International Association of Elevator Engineers which is being held in Miami Beach, Florida.
Lerch Bates Chairman, Adrian Godwin, will be presenting a paper entitled ‘Adsimulo – An expert system for the design of passenger lift services’.
With computing power ever cheaper the author of this paper has led a development team to produce an independent design application that ensures that the most space efficient “elevatoring” solutions are identified automatically for any proposed building. The application is a world’s first and is also capable of delivering visualisation of passengers using the lift services as well as generating a generic BIM output file for the building designer. The simulations run very fast and typically can handle 1500 hours of simulations in around two minutes. Such gains in productivity are vital to ensuring clients receive best advice promptly.
