What is LEGION Model Builder?
LEGION Model Builder is a simulation and modeling software that enables you to build a precise model of a space that can be simulated and analyzed based on a set of key inputs such as design, demand, and operational data. You can use LEGION Model Builder to run and evaluate virtually any place where people converge such as railway stations, sports stadiums, airports, office complexes, theaters, piazzas, and transport hubs.
You can simply build and audit models with automated routing, increased intelligence, and simplified objects. Easily reuse your data when you define and share objects across projects and teams, and link operational data to the model. Quickly prepare and import your model with data template that is flexible and simple to audit. LEGION Model Builder is interoperable, so you can easily import building geometry from a large range of CAD/IFC file types. An integrated CAD drawing feature allows you to quickly modify designs. Reduce your auditing time and make quick updates when you consume data such as destination data and entity types.
- Create simulation models
Build models for any type of venue or building, such as sports facilities, urban and commercial buildings, and airports. - Define space characteristics
Define the physical and operational characteristics of the pedestrian environment you need to test, such as designating areas where activities like waiting occur. - Specify population parameters
Populate the model based on activities and characteristics such as size, speed, and personal preferences.
