FACADE SYSTEMS
The facade is the exterior facing of a edifice. The concept makes it possible to refer to all the exterior walls of the building but, in general, the term is used to refer to the main facade or front facade.
It is important to note, however, that the facades not only fulfill an aesthetic function, but must also be functional to the whole building, acting as a thermal and acoustic insulator and preventing the entry of water.
Conventional facades usually have a outer sheet (usually made of brick) and with a inner sheet. A thermal insulator (polyurethane, fiberglass or other material) is installed between both sheets, with a small separation so that the steam from Water can be ventilated.
In the case of commercial premises, the aesthetics of the façade is even more relevant than for private homes, since it can determine the entry, or not, of potential clients.
Facade Design for Fabrication is an end-to-end solution for architects, engineers, contractors, and fabricators. Facade Design for Fabrication provides a robust solution to develop conceptual models of buildings and extend the facade through design, fabrication, and even into construction.
- Plan buildings using dynamic tools that validate requirements as you work
- Develop design further including shape, pattern, structure, and detail
- Extend design model data to automate shop drawings and bills of materials (BOMs)
Key capabilities & benefits
- Better Buildings to Delight Customers: Save time, reduce process dead-ends, validate requirements in real time, and exceed customer expectations
- Industrialized Construction: Reduce waste by extending conceptual model data into fabrication with collaboration and scalability on the cloud
- Single 3D Version of The Truth: “Same page” authoring tools provide a 3D Master version for the entire project team
- The Power of 3DEXPERIENCE: Business experience platform creates collaborative, interactive environment connecting people
Types of facades for building structures.
