Buro Happold is continually developing new technology to ensure delivery of innovative solutions to complex engineering problems; SMART, a team of consultants with strong analytical capabilities, has been instrumental in enabling this. The team's services include
structural,
crowd flow and
numerical solutions, while their expertise in numerical modelling has resulted in the development of several in-house software packages.
Tensyl
Buro Happold's flagship nonlinear form finding and analysis software has been instrumental in the delivery of several complex structural projects, including the Millennium Dome.
SMART Form
Digital prototyping software for real-time generation, manipulation and optimisation of complex geometric forms and structural grids.
SMART Sizer
An innovative one-step optimisation tool for target deflection.
SMART Move
Simulation of people movement through buildings and urban spaces. SMART Move's network based micro-simulation engine is highly scalable and capable of analysis as well as design optimisation.
SMART Particles
Simulation of wind flow around buildings of a complex shape, particularly flexible structures.
SMART Sight
Enables sightline assessments. Design and analysis of raked seating based on sightline requirements.
