€1.190,00 – €3.200,00 +vat
With this package you can perform thermal analysis of any construction element, windows frames and building structures, in compliance with the relevant norms.
Thermal analysis of the window/wall installation joint
The installation joint of a frame is a border zone between two standards: EN ISO 10077-2 for window and EN 10211 for walls. The two norms provide different methods for the calculation of cavities and assignment of the surface resistances. Additionally, for a precise calculation of the linear transmittance Ψ of the thermal bridge between the frame and the building structure, it is necessary to know the actual Uf transmittance of the frame and Ug of glass.
With Building&Frames package you will be able to perform calculation of frames within Mold Simulator. When calculating a window/wall joint it will be therefore possible:
- to calculate cavities in wall according to ISO 6946 and cavities in frame according to ISO 1077-2
- to automatically apply an increased surface resistance on the internal frame border, as required by ISO 10077-2
- to use the library and the calculation functions of the glazing to obtain accurate Ug values and surface temperatures on the glass/frame border
MOLD SIMULATOR PRO – version 6
is a 2D or 3D finite elements modeler (FEM) for the calculation of thermal bridges and condensation/mold analysis of walls, floors, roofs and other building structures.
It is a professional tool that you can learn in a couple of hours and use in your daily design and certification activity.
With Mold Simulator Pro you can:
- perform fem analysis of any section loaded from a cad drawing (dxf)
- calculate the inside and outside ψ (2D) and χ (3D) value of the linear and point transmittance for any thermal bridge
- perform surface and interstitial condensation analysis according to ISO 13788 norm
- assess risk of mold on internal surfaces according to ISO 13788 norm
- calculate temperature and heat flow values at any point on the border and inside the section, for any boundary condition
- display and print many different computation results with very attractive graphics: isotherms, heat flow, meshing triangulation, boundary conditions and many others
- calculate the U thermal transmittance of inhomogeneous structures
VERSION
LOCAL to be installed on single computers.
VALIDATION
Mold Simulator has been developed according to the following norms:
- EN ISO 6946 “Building components and building elements – Thermal resistance and thermal transmittance – Calculation method” For building structures the norm is EN ISO 10211.
- EN ISO 10211 “Thermal bridges in building construction – Heat flows and surface temperatures – Detailed calculation”.
- EN ISO 13788 “Hygrothermal performance of building components and building elements”.
FRAME SIMULATOR PRO – version 6
Frame Simulator PRO is a professional tool that allows you to perform complete thermal analysis of windows and curtain walling modules according to the ISO 10077-2:2017 and ISO15099:2003.
It really takes only few minutes to go from your cad drawing, that you can import in the program, to the modelling output. The thermal calculation process is performed in respect of the norm requirements and results are immediately interpretable, thanks to images and graphics of great realism.
In addition to obtaining the Uf thermal transmittance value and the PSI linear transmittance of the spacer, with Frame Simulator is possible to see the the heat flow at each point in the section and to identify the most critical areas requiring improvements.
The program also indicates the condensation risk on the internal frame surface.
With Frame Composer module, supplied with the program, you can calculate the thermal transmittance Uw for complete windows (frame + glazing), from a simple one-sash window to complex fenestrations with multiple sashes. You can even evaluate the contribution of thermal resistance given by curtains and shutters.
SOFTWARE MODULES
In this program are included two calculation modules:
- Frame Simulator module – for the fem thermal analysis and evaluation of window frames (Uf, Ψ) and shutters (Ursb) according to ISO 10077-2:2017 or curtain walling (UTj, ΨTj) according to ISO 12631:2017
- Frame Composer module – for the calculation of Uw and Ucw thermal transmittance and the additional resistance of internal and external screens
VALIDATION
The program is validated according to ISO 10077-2:2017 (calculation of thermal transmittance – Numerical method for frames).
Perpetual License Updates
12 months of free updates are provided with the purchase of a new perpetual license.
Upon expiry it will be possible to subscribe to an Updates subscription for another 12 months, thanks to which you will have access to any updates released during the period for your license. The fee for the Updates subscription varies according to the license held.
If after the first 12 months the Updates subscription is not subscribed, it will be possible to continue using the non-updated program and possibly purchase the upgrade to an updated version separately.
The Updates subscription will also grant access to additional confidential documentation.
Perpetual License Upgrades with subscription redemption
In case of purchase of a Perpetual License with redemption of a License subscription in version 6 or later, 12 months of free updates are provided starting from the subscription start date. Upon expiry it will be possible to subscribe to an Updates subscription for another 12 months.
HOW TO ACTIVATE THE DARTWIN SOFTWARE
When purchasing the software, you can choose between three different activation methods: with Software Key or with USB Key or with Web License.
To use the program simultaneously on multiple computers you need multiple licenses or multiple subscriptions.
Activation with SOFTWARE KEY
Standard activation method, included in the program price.
The program is activated by an alphanumeric activation key, valid for the computer on which it was initially installed.
The activation key is generated and sent within a few hours of payment, based on a code (Computer code) shown during installation, which the user must send us.
Once the license has been activated on a computer, it is always possible to transport it to another machine: by means of a procedure via the internet, it is possible to deactivate the license on the current computer and activate it on another computer.
For a possible reinstallation of the software on the same hardware, the initial procedure is repeated, by entering the same software activation key.
If, on the other hand, the hard disk has been reformatted or all or part of the hardware has been changed, we will provide a spare installation key upon request (this can only be done once).
Activation with USB HARDWARE KEY
Optional activation method – to be purchased separately.
If you choose this mode, the user will receive by registered mail or courier a USB key with all the licenses purchased (one of each type).
Activation instructions will be provided with a separate email, in order to use the programs on any computer (not simultaneously) simply by moving the key from one computer to another.
Activation with WEB LICENSE
Flexible access for smart working with an annual subscription.
Web License allows you to access your licenses anywhere and at any time by entering only your username and password.
This simplified access mode is particularly suitable for work teams that need to share the use of programs remotely.
Any member of the group can start the software by simply entering the username and password provided.
It is also possible to use the software simultaneously based on the number of simultaneities purchased. To use Web License you must already have a license in version 5 or higher.
