Azore is software for computational fluid dynamics. It analyzes fluid flow and heat transfers. CFD allows engineers and scientists to analyze a wide range of fluid mechanics problems, thermal and chemical problems numerically using a computer. Azore can simulate a wide range of fluid dynamics situations, including air, liquids, gases, and particulate-laden flow. Azore is commonly used to model the flow of liquids through a piping or evaluate water velocity profiles around submerged items. Azore can also analyze the flow of gases or air, such as simulating ambient air velocity profiles as they pass around buildings, or investigating the flow, heat transfer, and mechanical equipment inside a room. Azore CFD is able to simulate virtually any incompressible fluid flow model. This includes problems involving conjugate heat transfer, species transport, and steady-state or transient fluid flows.

ContextCapture
Transform simple photographs and point clouds into intricate 3D models. The process of reality modeling involves capturing the physical attributes of an infrastructure asset, developing a detailed representation, and ensuring its upkeep through ongoing surveys. Bentley's ContextCapture is a powerful reality modeling software that offers a comprehensive digital representation of the real world by producing a 3D reality mesh. This 3D reality mesh comprises numerous triangles and image data, forming a detailed model of actual conditions. Each element within this digital framework can be automatically identified and geospatially linked, allowing for an engaging and intuitive experience when navigating, locating, viewing, and querying asset information. Reality meshes find versatile applications across various engineering, maintenance, and GIS processes, offering essential real-world context to inform decisions related to design, construction, and operations. This technology often utilizes overlapping aerial photographs captured by drones, alongside ground-level images and, when necessary, enhanced with laser scans for accuracy. As such, the integration of these methods ensures a thorough and reliable digital representation of the physical environment.
