Professional software for structural design of ALUTECH group of companies architectural and interior systems.

Developed by ORGADATA Company (Germany).

Due to a high level of integrity the program provides following opportunities:

• Elements’ input;
• Section drawing;
• Reports preparation;
• Preliminary statics calculations;
• Profiles’ optimization;
• Saw manipulation;
• Profiles’ treatment schemes;
• Programmed numerical control administration;
• 2D CAD module;
• Import and export of AutoCad constructions;
• Integration with external 3D programs (Athena) HiCad;
• Possibility of displaying of the documents in different formats;
• Networking possibilities.

The program has convenient custom settings.

Elements’ input

AluPRO program’s ease of use allows users to work in the system faster. Element’s input embraces windows, doors and facade configurations. You determine properties of each element step by step. Our software leads you through the whole process of construction so that you won’t forget a detail.

Section generating

You can create sections for all the constructions created in AluPRO program. It’s a realistic display of all the designed positions. All the joints, swings, IGUs will be displayed very accurately.

CAD Module

AluPro has an integrated CAD module. It allows both to create new constructions and import DWG and DXF existing ones. It is easy-operated and functional. It is possible to export the files in DWG, DXF, BMP, JPEG, EMF, PS and ZIP formats.

Statics

AluPRO database has integrated statics norms for many countries. Statics norms for your own region can be set manually.

• Profiles’ statics: torque requirement (lx) for every mullion and transom is defined with the help of this module. Mounting devices and horizontal thrust (wind) are taken into account.
• Glass statics: statics calculation of glass and IGU is performed according to TRLV.

Profiles’ optimization

All the profiles included into the order are divided in such a way that very little chipping is left after sawcut.

Graphic displays profile’s position on a saw and a sequence of cut lengths. Chipping from the warehouse can also be used. Each profile has its own bar code, which can be printed on a label (for identification in machining center).

Saw manipulation

AluPRO program has drivers for one- and two-sided saws with the possibility of taking into account the results of sawcut optimization. Profiles cutting information can be transmitted to the equipment with the help of any storage device or through the network. Data controlling the saw contains the information about length, corners and bar codes. This helps with further identification of cut details in processing center.

Programmed numerical control module

The module allows to generate the files for processing centers, which make all the profiles’ treatment (shaping, drilling).

Equipment with programmed numerical control allows to minimize timing and increase productivity. All of it leads to ready products costs reduction. AluPRO can administrate all the processing centers.

3D connections for design engineering software

Software Module allows to design complex structures. This became possible due to special 3D software module. This option allows to import a ready-made construction including all designed connections, profiles and other materials. It is possible to make a 3D version connected to an AutoCad application Athena designed by CAD-Plan GmbH company.

At the moment following profile systems are imported into the program:

• ALT C48 window-door system without thermal-break;
• ALT F50 mullion-transom facade system;
• ALT W62 window-door system with thermal-break;
• ALT W72 window-door system with thermal break;
• ALT100 system of balcony glazing;
• ALT GS106 system of lift and slide doors structures;
• ALT C43 window door system without thermal break;
• AL VC65 hanged full-height glazing system for balconies without thermal break;
• ALT EF65 Unitized curtain wall system.

Software is based on modular basis, which allows to be more flexible when choosing necessary functions.

In order to work with AluPRO software one should buy a license, which consists of a software package (version) and optional modules.

Availability of a certain software package (version) allows to make following operations:

Table 1. Software packages possibilities (versions)
	Window-door structures calculation	Façade structures calculation	Sections preview	Sections export into dwg/dxf	Work with 2D Cad imported editor	Import (export) of the structures from (to) AotoCad	Possibility of additional modules installation

Number of additional software functions can be realized through additionally installed modules:

Table 2.  Description module software packages
Module name	Description	Package, or package+module, that need to be pre-installed
AluPRO Machinings and Bardrawings	Allows to create and show the geometry of profile mechanical treatment during structure creation. Treatments integrated into the program are draughted on the profiles in scale and are exported into machining centre through CNC module. Besides one can create and export *dxf files, which will present all the profiles in 1:1 scale, showing the places and contours of mechanical treatment.	AluPRO with CAD
AluPRO CNC	Allows to transfer the information (mechanical treatment contours and their connection to the profiles) from the program on the equipment with computer numerical control.	AluPRO with CAD + AluPRO Machinings and Bardrawings
AluPRO 3D Geometry	Allows to import and edit 3D constructions, created in Athena or HiCAD programs and AluPRO. Windows and doors can be installed into the constructions created in AluPRO program. The constructions are shown in 3D.	AluPRO with CAD
AluPRO Server	Allows to organize a network version of the program. Software is installed on the server. Number of users, working simultaneously is bound by the number of bought packages or packages and modules.	AluPRO with CAD либо AluPRO with DXF/DWG

One should also notice that modules operation without necessary packages installation is not possible.
