MOLD SIMULATOR DYNAMIC – version 6

Analysis of thermal bridges and condensation in variable conditions
is a two-dimensional or three-dimensional finite element (fem) modeler, for the dynamic and stationary thermal calculation of building structures, thermal bridges and for the analysis of the risk of surface and interstitial condensation in a variable thermal regime of walls, floors, roofs and other building structures.

Mold DYNAMIC allows you to perform simulations with time-varying input parameters. You can assign curves of the trend over time of temperature, humidity and heat flow to the boundaries of the structure (for example, solar radiation on a wall or the heat flow in a radiant system). The curves can be created with the program tools or you can import them from table data, such as climate data files.

Mold DYNAMIC performs a series of finite element analyzes of the structure using successive points on the curves of the boundary conditions and taking into account the results of the previous simulation. In this way, the actual trend over time of the heat flow and temperature is simulated in every point of the structure. It is therefore possible to see, for example, the trend over time in a structure subject to mold or surface condensation as the temperature, humidity and solar radiation on the walls vary. Or you can evaluate the temperature trend on the surface of a wall or a radiant floor when fully operational and during the system’s on and off cycles. Or do the dynamic analysis of Glaser moment by moment and calculate the volume of the condensate and of the re-evaporation in any period of time.

Mold DYNAMIC also automatically carries out further finite element analyzes with periodic input data to calculate all the dynamic characteristics of the complete structure according to the UNI EN ISO 13786 standard such as: heat transfer matrix Z, phase shift, attenuation, area heat capacity, admittances, dynamic heat transmittance, etc. necessary for the summer calculation. It is important to emphasize that these values ​​are detected on the actual structure under examination and therefore also for complex building components including thermal bridges, not only for packages of homogeneous layers as is normally the case.

But that is not all! With Mold DYNAMIC you can also input the conductivity of a material related to temperature or the temperature variation profile along a boundary.
