AnTherm Documentation Update

The software AnTherm is equipped with extensive Help and Documentation. AnTherm-Blog offers supplemental information. Picture gallery (Picasa) and Video gallery (YouTube) provide visual impression.
This documentation is not only included with the program's installation but it can be also viewed on internet.

We've made efforts to provide documentation suitable for every user - an engineer, architect or student - making the starting the use of an application as easy as possible. Theoretical background of building physics and engineering calculations, used algorithms and procedures but also normative information have found their way into the documentation.

Extensive tutorials enable an easy start for new user leading him through a calculation of a two dimensional and then three dimensional thermal bridge component. The study of examples provides a quick overview of major application's functions. We've selected few common construction components for chosen  simulations and thermal heat/cold bridge analyses. Evaluations of heat stream (heat flux) lines, temperature on component's surfaces or throughout an interior of construction or even evaluations of condensing humidity (dew point) to answer the question about the risk of mould growth have been considered in examples chosen.

The Beauty of Thermal Bridges - Part V

Thermal bridge assessment can be sexy and beautiful. This is the last (fifth) part of the image collection created during the preparation of AnTherm’s exhibition (http://antherm.eu/) as presented on PicasaWeb of AnTherm.

The Beauty of Thermal Bridges - Part IV

Thermal bridge assessment can be sexy and beautiful. This is the fourth part of the image collection created during the preparation of AnTherm’s exhibition (http://antherm.eu/) as presented on PicasaWeb of AnTherm.

The Beauty of Thermal Bridges - Part III

Thermal bridge assessment can be sexy and beautiful. This is the third part of the image collection created during the preparation of AnTherm’s exhibition (http://antherm.eu/) as presented on PicasaWeb of AnTherm.
This image collection shows variations of visual assessment by looking at surface distribution of thermal properties like temperature or heat flux (stream density) and interstitial behavior of heat and vapor streams. The emphasis is on qualitative enjoyment of the conclusive and intuitive insight process.

New AnTherm 4.81 deploys Hedgehog (Arrows) and Image Underlay features

As of today the new version of AnTherm 4.81 has been made available to the public.

In addition to the well known and extremely powerfull simulaiton and visualization features (see earlier posts and the website http://www.kornicki.com/) the new version now adds ability to
  • include image underlay supporting data input and
  • visualize hedgehog showing vector field as arrows or cones following the heat or vapour stream

On visualization of heat and vapour diffusion stream in three dimensional models

The difficulties in the depiction of the flow of heat and vapour through three-dimensionally modelled building constructions are taken up. A method well suited for practical use in finding regions which are critical with regard to heat and water vapour transport is presented. The pseudo colour image of the absolute values of the flow densities of heat and/or diffusion of water vapour immediately shows the regions of increased heat or vapour diffusion flow. Furthermore the plot of single flow lines clearly shows the three-dimensional path of the heat or water vapour through the building construction. The expressiveness of this method is demonstrated by an example representing a building construction which was analyzed by a three-dimensional calculation using the new thermal bridge program AnTherm.
