Intelligent simulation environments for buildingmodeling and simulation

This paper describes the design of Intelligent Simulation Environments (ISE). An ISE aims to assist the user during the process of modeling and simulating of physical phenomena. Assisting the user means to automate repetitive tasks and, during creative and design tasks, to return a semantic feedback about the design. This semantic feedback will provide the user with the necessary knowledge and tools to develop a new model and or to use an existing model. The general architecture is described and an example of an implementation is given.
