    The architecture simulation programs have several main objectives: 1) Analyzing and simulating building performance under extreme environmental conditions like strong winds or hurricanes. 2) Testing factors like light flux, air circulation, and technical systems. 3) Choosing appropriate building materials. 4) Optimizing the design form for structural loads and weights. The simulation process involves: 1) Identifying the problem 2) Identifying variables and performance criteria 3) Constructing a simulation model Some common simulation programs are Honeybee, Ladybug, Climate Consultant, Diva, and Grasshopper with Ladybug and Honeybee plugins. Each takes different building data as inputs and outputs various metrics to
