Applied Technology has added a wind analysis function to its cloud environmental simulation software Machi Space®. The new feature lets users visualize urban wind patterns directly from a web browser without needing specialized technical knowledge or high-performance computing hardware. The analysis uses 3D computational fluid dynamics based on physical laws rather than AI prediction models, which the company says improves reliability of results.
Users only need to set location, wind direction from 16 available options, wind speed, and prediction height to start analysis. Results can be generated in roughly 20 minutes since calculations are processed on servers. Each simulation produces three visual patterns including horizontal and cross-sectional wind views, helping stakeholders quickly understand airflow behaviour around urban spaces.
The tool targets developers, local governments, and drone operators. Developers can use it during early site planning to design buildings and layouts that reduce wind risk. City planners can study wind corridors to help address urban heat effects. Drone users can simulate flight conditions to avoid gust hazards.

The company plans to expand the platform by allowing integration of building structure data such as IFC formats to support before-and-after construction wind environment simulations.
