Thermal analysis of windows and doors according to UNI EN ISO 10077-2:2018

Frame Simulator is a professional tool that allows a complete thermal analysis of a window frame or curtain wall module in a short time. The program is very easy to install and can be used even if you do not have great computer or thermal skills. Drawings in DXF format can be imported into Frame Simulator, and it really only takes a few minutes to go from drawing to final result. The thermal calculation is fast and the results are immediately interpretable with highly effective and realistic images and graphs. In addition to obtaining the Uf transmittance value and the linear PSI transmittance of the spacer, with Frame Simulator it is possible to see the trend of the heat flow at every point of the section and identify the most critical areas where to intervene.
The program also clearly signals the possibility of condensation on the internal surfaces of the frame. With the Frame Composer module, supplied with the program, you can calculate the Uw and Ucw thermal transmittance of complete window frames (frames + glazing) and curtain walls, from simple single-sash windows to complex combinations with many sashes, with internal blinds and shutters or external shutters. It is also possible to assess the thermal resistance contribution made by shutters.

SOFTWARE MODULES
Two calculation modules are included in the program:

• Frame Simulator for finite element analysis according to UNI EN ISO 10077-2:2018 of frame (Uf, Ψ) and box (Ursb) and curtain wall (UTj, ΨTj) calculation according to ISO 12631:2017
• Frame Composer for calculating the Uw transmittance of the entire window or Ucw of the curtain wall, the Ug of the glazing, and the additional resistance of the shutters

VALIDATION
The program is validated according to the new standard UNI EN ISO 10077-2:2018 (calculation of thermal transmittance – numerical method for frames).
