CAD import

CAD import and clean up

 

WINISO® imports CAD data as DWG, DXF and STEP. Efficient tools for CAD preparation create a seamless transition from CAD to FEM during data transfer.

Polygons

 

During the generation and processing of the polygons, the essential features and contours of the design are obtained and the foundation is laid for efficient and fast FEM calculation.

Polygon Search Flood Fill

 

The Flood Fill polygon recognition gives the user an intuitive, powerful and robust tool for preparing even problematic CAD data.

Clean joints

 

The joint clean-up automatically corrects offset errors from the CAD data and removes incidental details. The result is a coherent design that focuses on the essentials for the FEM calculation.

Term explanation

Dreidimensional-Icon

Three-dimensional

Profiles can be displayed as a 3D view. 3D evaluation, both in temperature fields and in heat flow fields.
U-Wert-Icon

U-value

Is a measure of the thermal quality of a building component. The higher a U-value is, the more heat passes through a component. In WINISO® you have the option to determine the linear U-value based on the selected point as well as to calculate the U-value (total).

ISO 15099

Our expert software WINISO® has been extended by the calculation according to the American standard ISO 15099. The add-on “ISO 15099” is available for this purpose. With the add-on “ISO 15099”, the relevant calculations of Ufr, Ueg and Ucg can be carried out according to ISO 15099 and NFRC..
Feuchte-Icon

Condensation water

Use the add-on to calculate humidity using WINISO®. WINISO® is used to calculate relative humidity, vapour diffusion and condensation.
Dreidimensional-Icon

Material fields

Materials from the material database in WINISO® can be assigned to the generated surfaces of a component with the corresponding material colours or hatchings using various functions.
U-Wert-Icon

Temperatures

In the representation of the temperature fields you get a coloured representation of the surface temperature in the individual surfaces of a component. The colour representation is in the value range between 0° C and 20° C.
Feuchte-Icon

fRsi factor

The temperature factor, called the fRsi factor, is a criterion for the mould risk at a wall connection (connection of a window to the adjoining wall) and is the basis of DIN 4108-2.
Dreidimensional-Icon

Heat flows

The heat flow indicates how much heat flows through a construction per time. The cause of the heat flow is a temperature difference.
U-Wert-Icon

Psi-value

The length-related heat transfer coefficient, called Ψ-value, indicates the heat transfer through the edge seal of windows and is based on DIN EN ISO 10077-2. The Ψ-value is given in watts per metre and kelvin.
Feuchte-Icon

Uf-value

The U-value of a frame, called Uf-value, indicates the heat transfer through the area of the frame.
Dreidimensional-Icon

Isotherms

Isotherms are curves of equal temperature that make the quality of a building component visible in terms of condensation and mould risk. The 10°C and 13°C isotherms are prominent for condensation and mould formation.
U-Wert-Icon

CAD

WINISO® offers extensive, intuitive and fast editing options for CAD files. The operation is adapted to common CAD software for this purpose. A CAD editor is included in WINISO®.
