Short Answer
Yes — uploading partial models is a completely normal workflow in vyzn. For one building you can manage several models side by side – for example architecture, structural shell and building services (MEP) separately – and keep variants of each. Results are valid exactly for the scope your model covers: every calculation always runs over exactly the elements and the variant that are actually contained.
Why It Matters
You do not have to wait for a single, complete overall model to work with vyzn. At the same time, the validity of the results depends on the scope of the model you upload. For a reliable verification, the data required for the respective calculation must be complete – vyzn transparently shows you where gaps remain instead of reporting seemingly valid figures.
How It Works in vyzn
- Multiple models and variants: For one building you manage several models side by side (e.g. architecture, structural shell, building services separately) and keep variants of each.
- Life cycle assessment: The calculation runs cleanly over the elements that are assigned to a component from the catalogue. If your model is only partially assigned to components, you accordingly get partial results.
- Cost evaluation: The platform transparently points out the gaps with specific messages such as "The model contains elements without a component assignment" or "The area is missing for X elements in the model".
- Energy verification (SIA 380/1): Here vyzn is stricter. If a variant is incomplete – for example elements not yet assigned to zones, missing U-values, missing regulation or heat capacity – the platform reports "This model variant is not suitable for calculating an energy verification!" and names the specific missing data instead of showing a seemingly valid figure.
- Deep Model Processing: To make partial models viable as quickly as possible, Deep Model Processing helps correct and enrich the model data with AI support.
Practical Example
Suppose you initially upload only the structural shell model and assign catalogue components to some of the elements. The life cycle assessment then calculates over exactly these elements – you get partial results for the assigned part of the model. At the same time, the cost evaluation alerts you if the model contains elements without a component assignment or if the area is missing for some elements. This way you can always see which evaluation is already reliable and where additions are still needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to wait for a complete overall model?
No. Several partial models side by side – for example architecture, structural shell and building services separately – are a completely normal workflow in vyzn.
Why is the energy verification stricter than other evaluations?
For the energy verification according to SIA 380/1, the platform explicitly reports incomplete variants as unsuitable and names the specific missing data instead of showing a seemingly valid figure.
How do partial models become viable more quickly?
Deep Model Processing helps correct and enrich the model data with AI support.
