Overview of WUFI's Menu Structure

This list contains a description of all menu items.

Menu: Project

• New Project

Wipes WUFI's memory clean and starts a new, empty project.

• New Case

Creates a new case within the current project.

• Remove Selected Case

Serves to delete cases which are not needed any more.

• Open

Displays the usual 'Open' dialog from which you can open existing project files (which contain the input data and the calculation results, if any).

• Reopen

Displays a list of projects you have previously worked with so that you can easily open them by simply selecting them from this list.

• Save

Saves the input data and (after a calculation has been performed) the calculation results to the project file.

• Save As...

Saves the current project under a new name.

• Close

Closes WUFI-1D.

Menu: Inputs

(these dialogs are also directly accessible from the project explorer on the left side of the screen)
 

• Assembly / Monitor Positions
  Here you define the assembly of the building component by specifying the layer sequence and the layer thicknesses as well as the material parameters of the individual layers.
  
• Orientation / Inclination / Height
  This dialog serves to define the orientation, inclination and height of the building component.
• Surface Transfer Coefficients
  In this dialog you define the surface transfer coefficients, such as the heat transfer coefficient, the radiation absorptivity, rain reduction factor etc.
  
• Initial Conditions
  The initial temperature and moisture distributions are specified in this dialog (e.g. a dry component or one with trapped construction moisture).
• Calculation Period / Profiles
  Here you tell WUFI for which period of time the simulation shall be carried out (e.g. the simulation is to span one year, starting on June 1st).
• Numerics
  The options offered by this dialog allow you to control the way the calculation is done.
  
• Climate: Outdoor (Left Side)
• Climate: Indoor (Right Side)
  These dialogs serve to specify the weather acting on the left or right side of the component, respectively.
