Module: ETICS Facade – building shape modeling
See how, in the ETICS module of the EasyFix software, you can model even the most unconventional building shapes and quickly perform calculations for an insulated facade.
Wind load calculations in accordance with Eurocode
Calculations made by ETICS Facade module are based on EN 1991-1-4 Eurocode 1: actions on structures – General actions – Part 1-4: Wind actions. Building shape is one of the most important factors related to wind load zone map on facade area.
3D building shape modelling and fixing optimisation
ETICS Facade module allows to freely defining of building outline. Moreover, different heights of selected building parts can be considered as well. All geometric parameters are presented on 3D model.
Thanks to the option, detailed analysis of wind loading of facade area is possible, and hence optimization of quantity of the fasteners in selected areas.
