M.O.D.E.M.
Methodology for Open Design & Engineered Modeling
M.O.D.E.M. is the ecosystem we utilize to merge traditional architectural collaboration environments and data analytics with virtualization, gaming, and simulation technologies. This integrated approach allows us to bring project vision to life—beginning with informative data analytics, computational design, and simulation, and guiding the process seamlessly through the completion of design and delivery.
What is M.O.D.E.M?
The M.O.D.E.M. Platform empowers dynamic decision-making and agile iteration. Built on an open framework of interconnected applications, data structures, and digital environments, it enables continuous data analysis, design interaction, and communication across all phases of design, production, and deployment.
This ecosystem bridges the rigor of AEC standards with the real-time responsiveness of gaming and simulation systems—creating a live, collaborative workspace where creative intent and technical precision evolve together.

What makes M.O.D.E.M. different?
This seamless integration of AEC collaboration with advanced digital technologies is a hallmark of the Sonik Optik philosophy: open, adaptive, and future-ready. Unlike traditional, non-linear workflows, M.O.D.E.M. operates as an open framework capable of seamlessly transitioning between the diverse design platforms used throughout today’s AEC industry. It is not confined to a single ecosystem—it is a flexible, living system, an adaptive methodology built to evolve, improve, and grow with each project’s unique needs and ambitions.
M.O.D.E.M allows us to build true digital twins that not only reflect real-world conditions, but provide actionable analytics and simulation tools. By integrating geometry, systems data, and operational logic, we create a real-world sandbox where the entire project team can design, coordinate, and validate in one environment.
This approach results in better coordination, clearer documentation, and faster decision-making, because every stakeholder is working from the same accurate model. The digital twin becomes a shared workspace for collaboration, problem-solving, and continuous refinement throughout the life of the project.

M.O.D.E.M. is delivered to our partners and clients as an integrated component of our professional services on the projects we support. At this time, M.O.D.E.M. is not offered as a stand-alone license or public-facing software suite.
Get access to M.O.D.E.M. tools
We believe in putting meaningful tools into the world and supporting the broader community of designers, engineers, and collaborators. As part of that commitment, we are releasing a curated selection of calculators and workflow modules originally developed as part of the of M.O.D.E.M. platform. These resources are provided as open tools that you are welcome to use and incorporate into your own design and engineering processes.
