Tutorials and Cookbooks
Tutorials shall help you to learn the AnTherm application quickly and efficiently.
Examples and guides collected below shall explain the usage of the
application. They shall allow the user to quickly learn the operation of the
application and contain useful tips regarding input strategies also.
Following tutorials are available:
• Modelling and Evaluation Tutorial •
• VAPOUR - Tutorial •
• Usage Hints Introductory Tutorial •
• Transiente Simulation - Tutorial •
• Example images •
• Example: Results repot (edited) •
• Example: Coupling Coefficients report (edited) •

Hint: The application help window will always display on top (in front of) all other application
windows when invoked directly from the application (via F1 key or the Help menu) and eventually overlap them. To have
help window be freely switchable via desktop manager (which will allow you to bring the application windows to front)
you shall start the application help from the windows start menu instead (Start-All Programs-AnTherm-Help) and browse the
contents manually to the chapter of your choice.
With the application setting "Help Window shown TopMost"
the user can decide if the Help window will be shown topmost to all application windows and automatically minimize with the
application (which is the windows default behaviour) or it can be set behind the application window via typical desktop window
manager (default application setting). |
There are several example
projects included within the
application's installation to give you a quick start. You will find these examples in the subfolder
"Beispiele" (means "examples" in german) of the installation folder (typically its is
C:\Program Files\tkornicki\AnTherm\Beispiele ).
After opening one of these example projects (via menu
Help->Example Load...) please save a working copy of it to your private
folder (menu
File->Save as...).
Below the listing of some:
| BEISPIEL_1 |
3-dimensional modelling of an building corner with balcony.
This example is identical to the 3rd
validation
example of EN
ISO 10211. |
| BEISPIEL_2 |
3-dimensional modelling detail of a glass roof over indoor
swimming pool. To avoid condensation one of the joists is heated by filament (heating
power can be entered). |
| BEISPIEL_3 |
3-dimensional modelling detail of exterior wall of
vertically perforated bricks.
The calculation of heat transport is executed
to obtain medium U-Value for unrendered wall. |
| DEMO1_3D |
Wall corner made of homogenous material, plastered on both
sides with concrete ceiling with plaster. Three-dimensional calculation. |
| DEMO3_3D |
Masonry wall corner plastered on both sides with concrete
ceiling with plaster. Three-dimensional calculation. |
| Hallenbad_2D |
VAPOUR - Tutorial: Example of two dimensional heat and vapour transport
(diffusion) and interstitial condensation risk assessment.
Junction detail of flat roof of an indoor pool. Dividing wall
between living room and indoor swimming pool: double skin brick wall with 5
cm core insulation. Calculation of the heat and vapour transport. |
| Hallenbad_3D |
VAPOUR - Tutorial: Example of three dimensional heat and vapour transport
(diffusion) and interstitial condensation risk assessment.
Junction details of the flat roof over an indoor pool. Dividing
wall between living room and indoor swimming pool: double skin brick wall
with 5 cm core insulation. Exterior wall of the swimming pool: 25 cm
concrete, 15 cm core insulation, 12.5 cm brick sheathing. Calculation of the
heat and vapour transport |
| overlap |
Example showing effect of
overlapping principles of data
entry. Flipping the order of elements results in different overlapping
product. Try reordering (promote/demote) of a selected element. |

electric heating cable assembly embedded in concrete floor topping). |
| TUTOR3_orig |
TUTORIAL - 3-dimensional: Corner construction over carport.
Masonry bearing wall on girder over carport and bonded with concrete floor
slab (+ ext. insul, perimeter insul., elect. heating assembly in floor
topping). |
