- Uses profiles in aluminum, wood-aluminum, PVC, steel, light alloys
- Handles casements, sliding windows, shutters, sliding-folding doors, window assembly and curtain walls (through the additional FP FACADE module).
- Designs rectangular styles, arched styles and styles with intermediate angles.
- Graphically presents, in DXF format, dimensioned profiles, multi-joints and sections. 3D display of the styles with real colors and dimensions.
- Manages machining operations with the EASYMAC system to assign fittings to the machining operations defined with FP CAM/CAMPLUS.
Design
Job definition and calculation
- Guides entry of styles into the job.
- Calculates the materials lists for profiles, fittings, glazing, panels.
- Optimizes bars, short bars and multi-bar management and search for the ideal bar length.
- Connects to FP OPTI2D to optimize glazing and panels.
- Connects to FP GEST to handle production.
