1Point2 Studies Bathrooms and Gender Bias in France

1Point2 is the official partner of Thunderhead Engineering in France and has been since 2014. For over 30 years they have specialized in dynamic flow simulation for industry, transport, and construction. As an early pioneer in simulation, 1Point2 provides consultation services through the acquisition, training, implementation, and post-analysis of simulation software tools. Not only do they distribute and support flow simulation software, including localized PyroSim and Pathfinder each with bilingual French/English interfaces, they also use these tools for model building and flow studies.
