Parapet – three-dimensional thermal bridge in the corner of a room
Unrenovated condition and renovated with ETICS. Clear illustration of the risk of condensation (100% humidity) and elimination through optimized insulation design.
Underground parking garage: Interior wall integration
Three-dimensional thermal bridge on connecting interior wall. Old building and thermally optimized variant with targeted local insulation. Avoidance of thermal bridges, mold and condensation risk.

CAD
CAD import and cleanup
WINISO® 3D imports CAD data as DWG, DXF and STEP. Efficient tools for CAD preparation create a seamless transition from CAD to FEM during data transfer.
During CAD import, WINISO® 3D efficiently extracts the essential properties for the simulation from the extensive details of a CAD drawing. Unnecessary information such as hatching, labels and dimensions are automatically removed and the geometric properties are converted into a clean, consistent and unambiguous line geometry. The bridge between CAD and FEM simulation is thus simple and intuitive in WINISO® 3D.
Create 3D body
When creating and editing the 3D geometry, the essential features and contours of the design are obtained and the foundation for an efficient and fast FEM calculation is laid.
3D bodies are automatically recognized from the prepared CAD geometry. They form the basis for an efficient and fast FEM calculation mesh. A powerful set of tools supports the WINISO® 3D user in recognizing, checking, cleaning up and simplifying the 3D CAD geometry. The characteristic features of the design are thus worked out and important CAD properties such as material assignments are automatically adopted.
Tools
The imported CAD data can be easily and flexibly edited and supplemented with an extensive set of CAD tools.
There is no need to use CAD software to make changes to the CAD data – WINISO® provides a coordinated set of tools for adding to and adapting the CAD design. In addition to the standard functions such as copying, pasting, rotating and mirroring, 3D objects can be trimmed, combined and reconstructed.
Project editing
Create and edit your simulation projects intuitively, quickly and accurately with the coordinated tool set of WINISO® 3D.
Edit 3D body
The imported 3D geometry can be adjusted with intuitive editing functions for cropping, rotating and positioning. Complex geometries can be reproduced and handled by replacing them as cuboids or extruding surfaces.
Material assignment
Materials can be automatically assigned manually to layers according to layer name or created assignment.
WINISO® 3D offers an extensive material database; materials defined by the user are saved in the SommerGlobal® database and are available for all subsequent projects.
Boundary conditions and cavities
With the enclosing cuboid, the areas for boundary conditions are easily and efficiently recognized and assigned.
Finally, undefined areas of the 3D geometry are automatically recognized as cavities and assigned with the “Fill remainder with air” function
Evaluation
Standard-compliant, automated, intuitively understandable and freely configurable – the WINISO® 3D evaluation and report tools provide you with targeted support in generating and presenting your calculation results.
Temperatures
In the result display
Temperatures in false color representation
either on the component surfaces or on sectional planes through the component.
Isotherms
Isothermal lines can be shown in the results display to visualize the progression of critical temperatures in the construction. By default, the isotherms 13°C (risk of mold), 10°C (risk of condensation) and 0°C (frost) are displayed. The isotherm display is freely configurable.
Condensation, mold
The “condensation” and “mold” displays clearly show when critical humidity levels of 80% (mold) or 100% (condensation, condensation) are exceeded.
Thermal bridges
By evaluating the three-dimensional thermal conductance L3D and simple variant calculations, point thermal bridges χ can be quantified.
Present
The “Standard” and “Expert” report templates can be used to create printouts and PDFs with the relevant representations and characteristic values. Reports in Word format can then be further customized and supplemented.
Save and manage projects
In the SommerGlobal® database, the stored calculation cases are clearly summarized as items of a project. An upload to the SommerGlobal® Cloud makes the documents available everywhere.
