Affinity Trelligence

---

Trelligence Affinity software is an extension of BIM that adds the Program Model into the architectural business process of planning, designing and constructing a building. Affinity focuses on architectural programming and schematic design giving the entire AECO (Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Owner/Developer) team a platform for communicating the requirements for a building project. Affinity fast forwards the BIM model into the pre-design phase delivering time and cost savings and more successful and cost-effective project outcomes.

Intelligent Integration of Programming and Conceptualization

Once the master plan is documented, Affinity allows you to try out any number of building layout scenarios using intelligent, 3D building blocks such as spaces and openings. As you create conceptual floor plans and stacking diagrams, Affinity analyzes each element and tracks whether the initial design is in compliance with the requirements in the program.

Once the team selects a plan, you can bring the schematic into your favorite CAD tools to develop the detailed designs and construction documents. If you use Archicad, the bi-directional Affinity for Archicad plug-in allows you to continue to track the detailed design against the initial requirements. You can even update the requirements in Archicad using the features of Affinity.

Affinity gives your building project team an intelligent and easy tool to help define the program, create initial design concepts plus analyze and document the relationship between the two.

Software to Expedite the Charrette Process

Architects and urban planners know the French term "charrette" originating from the École des Beaux Arts in the 19th century when project deadlines were met while traveling in a chariot to class or to a client meeting. Trelligence Affinity delivers a 21st century platform for capturing, evaluating and communicating the work effort of a charrette or intense design work session, with or without a chariot. Affinity helps you capture the vision and plan for your building and reduces the stress of last minute planning.
