Oasys MassMotion

MassMotion is pedestrian simulation software from Oasys, the software division of Arup, used to model and analyze crowd and pedestrian movement.

It helps architects, planners, and engineers simulate pedestrian flow in transport hubs, stadia, and buildings to test congestion, wait times, wayfinding, and fire egress scenarios.

Oasys MassMotion Overview

MassMotion is pedestrian simulation software developed by Oasys, the commercial software division of Arup. It lets architects, planners, engineers, and operators build, simulate, and analyze how people move through a space, then use those results to inform design and operational decisions. Users import 2D and 3D geometry from BIM and CAD sources, including .fbx, .ifc, and .dwg files, and populate it with real-world population, demographic, and scheduling data. MassMotion's engine simulates pedestrian movement and renders results as 3D avatars representing different demographics, with 4K video export for presentations. Analysis outputs include tables, heatmaps, and graphs covering congestion, wait times, and trip metrics, so users can quickly compare design or operational scenarios. An included SDK allows teams to customize simulations and integrate MassMotion into their own workflows and tools. MassMotion is used across transport and aviation planning, stadia and event planning, themed entertainment, fire egress and evacuation safety, architectural design, urban and commercial planning, and educational and cultural venues.

Vissim

PTV Vissim is microscopic, multimodal traffic simulation software from PTV Group. Traffic engineers and transportation planners use it to model vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, and transit together, testing signal timing and street redesigns before they're built. It supports congestion, safety, and emissions analysis for both urban corridors and highway projects.

Spacefit.ai

Spacefit.ai is an AI-powered space planning tool designed to transform how organizations optimize their environments. By simply uploading a floor plan, it instantly generates thousands of layout scenarios, evaluates space efficiency, and recommends configurations tailored to specific needs. Ideal for offices, retail spaces, or public areas, Spacefit.ai streamlines planning, maximizes surface utilization, and accelerates strategic decision-making with reliable data. This innovative solution allows users to quickly compare multiple options, identify the most effective layouts, and enhance the overall performance of any project, turning complex space management into a fast, intelligent, and data-driven process.

Planary

Planary is a feasibility and massing plugin for Revit and AutoCAD, built for architects and urban designers evaluating site potential before design begins. It converts 2D filled regions into live 3D parametric masses and instantly calculates metrics like FSI, GFA, NSA and parking counts. Results update in real time as the design changes, with no file exports required.
