Frame Simulator 5
2D finite element program for calculating heat transfer in fenestration and curtain walling systems. Includes also Frame Composer 4 module.
Thermal analysis of windows according to ISO 10077-2 and ISO15099
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:
[unordered_list style=”tick”]
- 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).
