Abstract: With the recent advancement of several technologies and software, the simulation-based design processes for optimizing the structural strength of various erections have become extraordinarily effortless. This software is an advanced version of the human mind, designed to provide solutions for complex problems in real-time. However, this software lacks the creativity, broader understanding, and intuition that characterize the human mind. This paper presents a research study on computer-aided software and its efficiency in determining the structural strength of complex residential buildings. This software reduces the need for time-consuming and costly physical testing. This paper also provides compiled information on issues related to simulation software, trends in optimisation studies, and the effectiveness of these tools. Factors such as model simplification, material property calibration, and validation against real-world performance data are critically processed to ensure the reliability and applicability of the proposed design solutions. In addition to these, this paper presents a holistic approach to structural optimisation using a Building Information Modelling platform within the context of the entire building lifecycle. Emphasizing sustainability and environmental considerations, the study examines how simulation-based design processes can contribute to reducing energy consumption, minimizing environmental impact, and achieving compliance with green building standards. Primarily, this research inquiry provides insights and recommendations that can inform the development of best practices for optimising the structural strength of complex residential buildings.
