TRISCO
The fastest most complete digital instrument for thermal analysis of building components.
Features
- steady-state thermal simulation of 2D & 3D orthogonal building components
- High work-efficiency due to efficient geometric modelling functions
- Minimal simulation time due to optimized finite element solver
- Optimised for automated use according to EN ISO 6946 and EN ISO 10211
- Superior graphic representation of isotherms and isofluxes
- Software operational in English, French, German and Dutch
Application fields
- Thermal bridge analysis: heat loss calculation, surface condensation (EN ISO 10211)
- Thermal transmittances of building components and elements (EN ISO 6946)
- Thermal performance of windows, doors and shutters (EN ISO 10077-2)
- Heat transfer via the ground (ISO 13370)
- Heat transfer in masonry and masonry products (EN ISO 1745)
Input and geometric modelling
- Object modelled with rectangular blocks
- By superposition in space a minimum number of blocks is required
- Object parts can be copied, transformed, repeated
- Input possible of 2D AutoCAD drawing via DXF file
- Importing of separate TRISCO models for specific components possible
- Compatible model input from SOLIDO and BISCO
Thermal properties and boundary conditions
- Material properties (thermal conductivity, surface emissivity) are linked to colours
- Automatic calculation of equivalent thermal conductivity for air cavities modelled as materials
- Surface boundary conditions (to environment or between materials)
- Volume boundary conditions (material with fixed temperature or heat power density)
- Point boundary conditions (fixed temperature or power)
