Maderas Besteiro, is a Spanish SME focused on leading-edge timber
designs for different structures.
• The construction market in general and timber in particular is
moving towards prefabrication to reduce labour costs and make
onsite assembly up to 80% faster.

insulation.
• The main objective is to simulate a box-framed design coupling
structural analysis with simulations of soundproofing, underfloor
heating, fire resistance and vibration.
• A complex multi-physics approach is needed which needs cloud-
based HPC to deliver results within the timeframe and accuracy
required.
