Performance software
SommerGlobal, the software for glass calculation from Rosenheimer Sommer Informatik GmbH, added WINTHS to its product, an additional program for the calculation of the climate conditions acting on glass panes under consideration of geographical location and historical weather data. The additional module makes it possible to determine thermal stresses occurring on glass surfaces in advance with regard to extreme weather data and thus minimizing the risk of glass breakage.
