From the Simple Facade to the Complex Glazing Design!

The Whole World of Metal Engineering.

Nowadays, modern architecture is increasingly characterised by glass and metal constructions. Especially facade designs for shopping malls, exhibition halls or office buildings are recently getting more and more extravagant and unconventional. Therefore, the design requirements, too, have changed fundamentally, as such complex projects can nowadays only be realised with a modern 3-D CAD system, enabling an early cost control, error minimisation and abridgement of product development cycles.


HiCAD Metal Engineering meets these requirements in a unique way. Industry-specific, special functionalities for glass, metal and facade design allow a rapid realisation of all kinds of closure elements for rooms- no matter whether glazings for conservatories, house fronts, complex roof architectures or translucent roofs are required - state-of-the-art working techniques and a high degree of automation will lead directly to success even when dealing with highly sophisticated design tasks.

  

From the planning stage and the design of details to the photorealistic rendering, HiCAD Metal Engineering provides the user with efficient functionalities, automatisms and tools - even for complex projects involving various industries.

Special beams and profiles for facades, translucent roofs, windows or doors by all current manufacturers can be taken directly from beam groups consisting of several single cross sections. The integrated logic and highly optimised correction functionalities ensure that these beam groups will automatically be adapted to the HiCAD data structure. At any time you can switch between simplified and exact representation.

Beam groups can be conveniently inserted into the design as serial beams – these are directly available as 3-D models and can be individually arranged and modified if required. The glass insertion takes place automatically - including insertion depth and glass stress check.
