Orbital Stack is an AI and CFD web-based software that provides earlier qualitative guidance, comparing a large number of design options while highlighting any potential wind and thermal comfort red flags. It allows for the realization of a variety of climate-conscious, high-performance developments not previously feasible due to cost and/or time constraints associated with traditional studies. Orbital Stack is the first digital climate-analysis tool built by global leaders in wind and microclimate engineering using real wind tunnel data. It is truly a game-changer for the architecture and building design sector, offering our clients direct access to wind comfort and safety analysis, thermal comfort and shadowing analysis, and cladding pressure simulations. This means architects can run their own wind simulations and quickly understand the climate impacts of their proposed building designs from the start, making decisions that result in higher performing and more resilient projects.

A Digital Thread is a graph whose nodes are elements in various enterprise repositories, tools, and version control systems, and whose edges are intra-model relationships within each tool and inter-model relationships created and managed by Syndeia between the nodes. Syndeia provides model transformation services to build the digital thread graph, such as drag-n-drop requirements from Jama or DOORS-NG to SysML, generate Simulink models and PLM part structures from SysML models, connect behavior elements in SysML to software code in GitHub, or track the development status of a sub-system in JIRA directly from SysML. Syndeia provides services to search, compare, and bi-directionally synchronize connected models in the digital thread, such as compare and sync changes in system architecture to PLM part structure, compare connected SysML and Simulink models, or sync changes in DOORS-NG requirements to SysML.
