Agroforestry Design Software for Tree Layout and Shade
Connect tree-layout design with temporal shade simulation. Build a scenario, configure trees, run it, inspect the output, and adjust the design without separating those steps across unrelated tools.
- Planting patterns describe geometry but not how modeled shade changes through time.
- Alternatives are clearer when plot, dimensions, location, date, and time remain controlled.
- Saved scenarios keep the design question connected to the inspected output.
- Design: Define plot geometry, place trees, and configure spacing, patterns, and dimensions.
- Simulate: Run shade calculations for relevant locations, dates, hours, and steps.
- Inspect: Review 2D maps, 3D views, and available result metrics.
- Adjust: Revise one layout variable and run another controlled scenario.
- Design → simulate → inspect → adjust: Save a baseline layout, create a second scenario, change one spacing, orientation, or dimension variable, and rerun it with matching temporal settings. Inspect the separate, documented outputs.
- Parameters: Plot and tree positions, Planting patterns, Tree dimensions, Location and period
- What to inspect: Move from a planting concept to inspectable 2D, 3D, and report outputs for the next design iteration.
