Example curtain wall

This exercise example is intended to create a curtain wall construction using the "Turbo view" command.

In addition to the help in text form, you will find small summarising videos in the appropriate places.

Watch out for this Symbol:

Description:

Curtain wall HUECK HARTMANN "Facade 60" with single door (opening out), two tilt and turn windows and fixed lights.

Profile numbers and glass thickness are to be taken from the elevation.

Step 1: For the FCADE 60 profile series, select the "Generating Sections" programme via the toolboxes or the ribbon.

Activate the FACADE 60 system from W. HARTMANN

Step 2:We draw the mullions and transoms of our facade using the "Turbo view" command.

Please click on the "Turbo view" icon in the CUTTING toolbox or ribbon.

The following dialogue box appears:

Fill in all specifications as required:

In the example:

Position the virtual view window and select the glazing:

Fill in all specifications as required:

In the example:

The following warning appears:

The result should look like this:

Step 3: Insert element single-leaf door.

To do this, you need to remove the two "disruptive" profiles, i.e. delete them. And we need a boundary line at the bottom for the panel. The auxiliary line is not enough. We need an auxiliary muntin .

First we delete the two unnecessary profiles and the fixed fields from the view. (cross window + delete)

Next, we select the "Auxiliary muntin" command.

Read the following in the command line:

Transom/mullion profile from point - Click on 1. Point

to line <PERPENDICULAR> :  - Click on 2. Point

Now we have a closed contour and can use the command: "Filling" to insert the desired door.

Click on the command: "Filling" .

RETURN> for end of filling

First corner (bottom le

or select point in closed contour

Click on the contour marked with the red X.

In the dialogue box that now appears, click on the "Insert frame Facade" tab. Select profile 620320 from the SYSTHERM 62 series as the frame profile by double-clicking on the SYSTHERM 62 series in the selection menu. Please use 41 mm as the glazing pocket dimension. Set the checkbox to "open (door)".

Set all other parameters as shown.

End filling <mounting frame>

Profile <620320>

First corner (bottom left)

or select point in closed contour

The clamping frame of our door has been drawn.

We now want to draw a door in this open clamping frame.

To do this, we need to confirm once  to leave the default level of the Filling programme.

<RETURN> for end of filling

First corner (bottom left)

or select point in closed contour

Click in the closed contour.

In the dialogue box that now appears, click on the "Doors" tab. The parameters of the following dialogue boxes must be set as shown.

The door is drawn, the result on your screen should match the following picture.

We first drew a clamping frame in our facade. We had SYSCAD fill this frame with a single-leaf door.

Step 4: Tilt and turn window with SYSTHERM 62 clamping frame.

Please call up the command "Filling" .

<RETURN> for end of filling

First corner (bottom left)

or select point in closed contour

We click in the closed contour marked with a red X.

The following dialogue appears:

There is already a fixed glazing in this field, we delete this with "yes".

In the dialogue box that now appears, select the "SYSTHERM 62" +  "Insert frame Facade" with frame profile 620170 (opening on the inside) and a profile spacing of 13 mm in the same way as for the door. The clamping depth should be as low as possible. Also select "Closed" in the checkbox.

Then click on the 2nd contour marked with the red X.

The preselection for your clamping frame has been accepted and you can confirm the dialogue boxes.

The clamping frame is now drawn in both façade fields. By confirming the last enquiry, the FILLING programme returns to its default setting, i.e. other infill types can be called up again.

To fill the two clamping frames, we click in the closed contour.

First 1. point:

The following dialogue boxes appear:

Set the parameters as shown.

Next, insert our 2nd window. One right click to change Filling-settings. (click on 2. point)

and confirm the settings - Only the opening type is changed to TT L (Tilt-Turn left).

The facade you have drawn should correspond to the following image.

We inserted two tilt and turn windows into a façade after first drawing a SYSTHERM clamping frame and then fitting it with the corresponding window.

The "Filling" programme works with two levels. If you have defined an infill type, you can use these settings to draw further infills until you confirm the request for the "1st corner point ..." once without entering anything.

You are then back at the lowest level of the "Filling" programme and you can set a different fill type without having to leave the programme completely. You can easily change the fillings by double-clicking on the filling symbol.

Step 5: Defining the pressure plate and face cap:

Once you have defined the infills of a view, you still need to define the pressure plate and face cap for façade constructions.

To do this, call up the corresponding command "Pressure plate / face cap" from the toolbox or ribbon "Gener. sections" from the toolbox or ribbon.

Firstly, we want to define the pressure plate and face cap for all transoms. You therefore draw a selection window from left to right around each transom profile.

After selecting the pressure profile 608520 and the cover profile 609500, the message "14 profiles in 608520 609500 altered" appears.

Please proceed in the same way for the mullions and select the number 608520 as the pressure profile and 609510 as the cover profile.

Message: "4 Profiles in 608520 609510 altered ".

Step 6: Specifying the transom connection

For curtain wall constructions, you still need to specify which transom connection variant is to be used.

To do this, select the "Define Transon connection" command from the section generation toolbox and drag a selection window around your view.

The following dialogue box appears after the object selection:

Select the desired variant. A red arrow appears for the profiles for which no transom variant exists.

SYSCAD then reports: "20 connection variants 06VD_3 set"
