The ATHENA modules at a glance
ATHENA has been carefully developed to meet the needs of our customers and offers a comprehensive toolkit of CAD functions that optimize the entire façade design process. By constantly updating and developing its functionality, ATHENA remains "state of the art" in the metal and façade construction industry.
ATHENA 2D construction
Equipped with the latest 2D tools, ATHENA 2D enables the rapid implementation of sectional drawings, structural connections, detailing and production drawings.
- Quick access to intelligent objects such as standard and manufacturer parts, semi-finished products, sealing foils, sheet metal cross-sections, thermal insulation, all types of functional glass and panel elements.
- Quick placement and modification of objects increases efficiency and minimizes errors in the drawing process.
- Extensive and freely expandable libraries, e.g. for profile systems, standard parts or manufacturer parts, provide an overview of the drawings.
- Advanced dimensioning and labeling functions facilitate the precise documentation of drawings.
ATHENA 2D Plus
After quickly creating the connection details, ATHENA 2D Plus enables you to systematically identify and position 2D objects automatically within the drawing. In the ATHENA project browser, you can then evaluate all drawing objects intuitively and in a structured manner.
- Drawing objects such as profiles, filling elements, standard parts and many more can be positioned precisely.
- 2D objects contain directly evaluable section and length information as well as the quantities of standard parts or blocks.
- With ATHENA 2D Plus, 2D drawings can be easily converted into detailed parts lists, production drawings and cutting optimizations.
- In addition, ATHENA 2D Plus enables seamless integration into ERP systems and export to STEP, SAT formats or special formats such as CamQuix© and EluCad©.
ATHENA 3D construction
The three-dimensional design and production of façade constructions presents many challenges. With ATHENA 3D you can efficiently create complex geometries of façades with multiple surface angles and at the same time prepare them reliably for production.
- In just a few steps, you can assign profiles including connectors and small parts or fillings such as functional glass or panels to the 3D axis model.
- Intuitively add processing such as drill holes or complex notches.
- Generate parts lists, production drawings, cutting optimizations and position models from the 3D design at the touch of a button.
- Transfer to calculation and ERP systems, STEP/SAT output and export to formats such as CamQuix© or EluCad© is also possible.
ATHENA Sheet metal processing
With the sheet metal processing program, you can easily design sheet metal components and automatically generate their processing. This functionality enables the automation of workflows and significantly reduces process times.
- Many joint types for special bends.
- Processing such as holes and punching - also with your own contours and as punching rows.
- 3D viewer for visual inspection.
- Wide range of import options from the drawing and export of STEP or SAT files directly to the machine.
ATHENA Statics and building physics
-
With the integrated calculation functions in ATHENA, you are already optimally protected in the planning phase.
-
Use sophisticated tools for the static pre-dimensioning of profiles - for well-founded, early and reliable decisions.
-
Calculate building physics parameters: center of gravity and moments as well as load case statics.
-
Quickly create evaluations such as thermal resistance (UCW) and sound reduction index (RW).
ATHENA Automation
-
With ATHENA you work completely in the BIM process.
-
Export 3D façade models including extensive information directly to Autodesk Revit.
-
Use the direct interfaces to calculation and ERP software: Logikal (Orgadata), ERPlus (T.A. Project).
-
Machine exports for production: Export machining data directly to software solutions such as CamQuix© or EluCad© or in STEP and SAT formats.
