EXAMPLE OF USE

Scenario I - method of accounting linear thermal bridges

1. Editing the default data:
   • In the window, , tab choose for the . Note: this method is available for the EN standards;
   • (Optionally) for the . This causes the auto mode status to be set for all fields of the () column, available on the form / , with the following default values:
     • = 0.05 - for the external partitions (, , , , ) and for thr partitions in contact with the ground (, );
     • = 0.00 - for the internal partitions (, , , ).
       

       

       2. column with "auto mode" status.

       
       
   • (Optionally) Introducing - available for the DIN standards.
2. Editing the :
   • Select the method of determine () in the form / :
     

     

     3. .

     
     
     • User's - allows to set the value of the allowance by yourself;
     • Automaticaly - initialises the default values according to the auto mode;
     • - = 0.05 ;
     • - = 0.1 .

Scenario II - method of accounting linear thermal bridges

1. Editing the default data:
   • In the window, , tab choose for the . Note: this method is available for the EN standards.
2. Editing the :
   • Select the method of determine () in the form / , just like in Scenario I - Simplified method of accounting linear thermal bridges.

Scenario III - method of accounting linear thermal bridges

1. Editing the default data:
   • In the window, , tab choose for the . Note: this method is available for the EN standards.
2. Definition of default types of the linear thermal bridges:
   • After making the of linear thermal bridges will be available in the () scope. Open , , . Select the default definition for each type of linear thermal bridge from the offered visualized variants. Note: One definition per bridge type is available by default.
     
     Once a linear bridge is defined, its description will be available in the working space and in the :
     • ,
     • ,
     • (from the visualized variants),
     • , ().
       
       
       
       
     • (Optionally) Copy an existing thermal bridge definition and modify its data, indicate as default;
     • (Optionally) Create a new bridge definition, manually complete its data, select a bridge category from the list and indicate as default;
     • (Optionally) Deletion of selected user bridge definitions.
3. Perform , resulting in automatic detection of linear bridges and their inclusion in the ;
4. Overview of automatically recognized linear thermal bridges and make manual edits, if necessary:
   • Open , , . The tree presents the linear bridges within the rooms grouped by type in the related branches. All the bridges of a given type within a room can be selected using the function or by the . Multi-selection with CTRL/SHIFT is also possible;
   • The identified bridges are presented in the 2D plan view and in the 3D view on a separate edit range "OZC (MC).
     

     

     4. .

     
     
   • The selection of linear thermal bridges directly in the window or is also possible in the scope by clicking on its graphic representation.

1. Editing the :
   • Select the method of determine () in the form / , just like in Scenario I - Simplified method of accounting linear thermal bridges.
