Calculate

Generates a mesh and calculates the temperature distribution of the current construction. Optionally, you can pause the program after the mesh has been generated (see corresponding Options dialog window, which can be activated with the menu command Tools). The solution will be displayed in a corresponding dialog window.

Batch Calculations...

Allows the calculation of several constructions at the same time. The definition of the files to be calculated, along with the activation of the calculation is done through a special dialog window.

Result Object

Activates the Result Object tool.

Material Legend

Inserts a material legend into the active result object. The graphical properties of material legends can be set in the corresponding dialog window. The position of the legend can be adjusted with either the Select, Move, Scale tool or with the Edit tool.

BC Legend

Inserts a boundary condition legend into the active result object. The graphical properties of the boundary condition legends can be set in the corresponding dialog window. The position of the legend can be adjusted with either the Select, Move, Scale tool or with the Edit tool.

Temperature

Activates the Temperature tool.

Min./Max. Temperature

Activates the Min./Max. Temperature tool.

Heat Flux Density

Activates the Heat Flux Density tool.

Heat Flux

Activates the Heat Flux tool.

U-Value

Activates the U-Value tool.

Equivalent U-Value

Activates the Equivalent U-Value tool.

Uf-Value

Inserts a frame U-value for the selected result object. The frame material must be set in the dialog window which appears.

Frame U-value insertion is explained in more detail in Tutorial 4.

Frame U-values (Uf-values) can only be calculated for constructions which comply the EN ISO 10077-2 standard:

Psi-Value

Activates the Psi-Value tool.

Isotherms

Hides or unhides the isotherms of the selected result object. The properties of the isotherms, such as equidistance, color and labeling, can be defined in a corresponding dialog window.

Temperature Field

Hides or unhides the temperature color fields (false-coloring) of the currently selected object. The properties of the temperature color fields can be changed in the corresponding Options dialog window, which can be activated with the menu command Options in the Tools menu.

Stream Lines

Hide or unhides stream lines of the selected result object. The properties of the stream lines, such as equidistance and line properties can be defined in the corresponding dialog window.

Stream Density Field

Hides or unhides the stream density temperature color fields (false coloring) of the stream density distribution for the selected result object. The properties of the color fields can be defined in the Options dialog window, which can be activated with the menu command Options in the Tools menu.

Refresh

Explicitly refreshes all results. Should the result objects be automatically refreshed after every change, then the corresponding option can be set in the Options dialog window, which can be activated with the menu command Options in the Tools menu.
