About Paracloud

ParaCloud developes generative design software solutions offering two products. ParaCloud Modeler - a software that converts Microsoft Excel™ spreadsheets into a powerful generative and associative modeling and analysis application, and ParaCloud GEM - a 3D pattern modeler. ParaCloud products extend common CAD software capabilities with minimal changes to working habits and defines a new way of communication.

Motivation

A typical design, engineering and research project involves multiple software solutions and multiple participants; therefore the need to exchange information fluently plays a key role in a project’s success. The growing complexity of design, engineering and research projects reflects in the sophisticated solutions offered by a variety of software vendors. However, the application of advanced tools can cause a setback and interfere with the work process. For example, we can see how the use of 3D models allows for creativity but on the other hand makes it complicated to handle. The exchange of proprietary documents between software tools results in duplicating or loosing information in the process. Therefore, the need for schematic representations which allow handling the real-world problems with simplified interfaces and the ability to drive multiple representations from a single logical model grows.

” Signature architecture projects often use repetition of complex shapes in some variations. Such repeating yet constantly changing elements can best be described using an algorithm. The mathematics that defines such shapes can often be complex. One example can be roof panels that appear organically but shifts slightly in shape as they cover a building. The current generation of CAD programs do not make it easy to automate the design of these complex repetitive shapes. As a result, some large architectural firms, as well as a few boutique firms, are trying to use 3D CAD tools created for product and mechanical design.
