flixo is a tool to analyze the thermal properties of a design or construction, and to document those results. Two main tools comprise flixo: a CAD workspace and entry tool, and a document generation tool. flixo calculates and gives an overview of temperatures and heat flux; it shows temperatures in specific places along with other global thermal properties.

 

flixo was developed by Infomind ltd

The most important features of flixo :

•Very user friendly, many input aids and wizard to reduce data input time

•Complete integration with  Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10

•Graphical arrangement of the calculated results on a report page

•Easy import of files from 3rd party CAD programs through DXF and SVG interface

•Results can be exported into a graphic format as SVG files, or be exported into other programs via Drag&Drop or the clipboard  

•Free forms

•A materials database with more than 1000 materials from different European standards (EN ISO 10456, EN ISO 10077-2, EN 673, EN ISO 6946, ISO 15099)

•Library with numerous components (like window, walls, floors etc.) for fast creation of constructions using parametric components

•Tools and assistants for automatic calculation of temperatures, thermal currents, and component property values like U-values, Ψ-values, frame U-values

•Calculation with the finite element method

•Automatic mesh generation and mesh refinement at critical points

•Number of temperature nodes is unlimited, and is only restricted by the hardware employed

•Calculation of thermal conductivities for air cavities, automatic filling of not fully enclosed cavities, automatic placement of special boundary, and automatic subdivision of air cavities according to EN ISO 10077-2 and ISO 15099:2003

•Support of multiple languages in one document and different unit systems

•Assistants for automatic calculation of joint U-values, joint Ψ-values and the influence of screws according to EN ISO 12631
