MicroCYCLONE simulation software, while not yet adopted extensively in the construction industry, has gained general acceptance in academic research and, compared with other software, the program presents a simple graphic system that can be readily understood by engineering and field personnel. The general rules of thumb derived from these models are used in a prototype advisory expert system which is designed to present the results in a user-friendly manner to construction practitioners. Le logiciel de simulation MicroCYCLONE, encore peu utilise au sein de l'industrie du batiment, est aujourd'hui couramment. adopte dans les milieux de recherche universitaires. Ce programme, par comparaison avec d'autres logiciels, offre un systeme graphique de grande simplicite, facile a maitriser par les bureaux d'etudes et les personnels de terrain. Les regles empiriques derivees de ces modeles sont utilisees dans un systeme expert de conception de prototypes, concu pour une presentation conviviale des resultats aux intervenants du processus de construction.
