UDS DACH EXPERT

UDS DACH EXPERT enables automatic planning and covering of tapered roofs, particularly for complex roof outlines and demanding drainage situations.

OVERVIEW

UDS DACH EXPERT is a software solution for the automatic planning and covering of tapered roofs in a CAD environment and has been used successfully by leading insulation manufacturers for over 30 years. The automatic layout function is designed for complex roof outlines and demanding drainage situations and takes into account relevant planning parameters such as thermal insulation values, materials, roof structures, and standards. Project-specific requirements are managed centrally and output in consistent layout plans and part lists. The results are aligned with company-specific standards and delivered in standard output formats. UDS DACH EXPERT is a powerful solution designed specifically for qualified users with technical requirements.

YOUR CHALLENGES – OUR SOLUTION

Planning tapered roofs manually is time-consuming and error-prone, especially for complex roof outlines and demanding drainage situations. 
UDS DACH EXPERT significantly reduces this planning effort and minimises typical sources of error through automated covering. Project-specific constraints are taken into account. The planning process is carried out in clearly defined, sequential steps:

FOR ANYONE WHO PLANS STRUCTURED TAPERED ROOFS

UDS DACH EXPERT is used wherever tapered roofs are implemented in commercial and public environments with high demands on planning reliability, material logic and usability. The software is designed for qualified users who need to plan complex roof situations in a structured and reliable manner.

THIS IS WHERE UDS DACH EXPERT COMES IN

UDS DACH EXPERT is suitable for planning a wide variety of tapered roof situations in new and existing buildings, especially those with complex geometries and project-specific requirements:
 

  • Industrial and commercial buildings
  • Logistics and production buildings
  • Shopping center and large-scale retail
  • Public buildings (Hospitals, schools, etc.)
  • Office and administrative buildings
  • Sports and event facilities

HOW YOU BENEFIT FROM UDS DACH EXPERT

  • Significantly reduced planning times through automatic covering of complex tapered roofs
  • High planning reliability even with challenging roof outlines and drainage systems
  • High-performance features for individual (post-)processing
  • Material-appropriate planning based on real insulation materials and company-specific requirements
  • Targeted optimization of the U/R-value, taking into account slope, structure, and material
  • All common materials such as EPS, PUR/PIR, mineral and rock wool, foam glass, etc.
  • Reduced material consumption and less waste through optimized covering
  • Reliable part list data for calculation, production, and logistics
  • Adaptation to internal company standards and processes through customization

 

HOW IT WORKS:

FROM ROOF OUTLINE TO COVERED PLAN

The following steps illustrate, as an example, the covering of a realistic, complex roof of a public building from everyday planning practice.

This typical tapered roof situation clearly illustrates how structured and efficient the covering is. The precise CAD-based workflow ensures error-free execution and allows for subsequent adjustments at any time. 

All results are then consistently available for further use in planning, production, and logistics.

1 - ROOF OUTLINE & DRAINAGE


First, the roof outline is created, either on a blank plan or by tracing an existing plan. In this example, several sub-roofs are defined due to the complexity. Drainage elements such as gullies or gutters and roof structures are then added. Input is intuitive via mouse clicks and object snap, ensuring absolute geometric precision.

2 - AUTOMATIC COVERING

Once all drainage situations have been defined, the individual roof areas are marked one after the other as outlines to be covered. This determines which areas the automatic layout function should consider. Project-specific parameters such as board size, starting height, slope, and material are then defined. The automatic layout function is then started.

3 - CHECK AND EDIT RESULTS

After the layout is completed, a complete dimensioned layout plan and the corresponding part list are available. For verification purposes, the result can then be displayed as a 3D model and evaluated in detail from various viewpoints. This makes it very easy to identify possible optimizations. Adjustments can be made at any time.

4 - OUTPUT & FURTHER USE

The output is available in common formats such as Word, Excel, or CSV and can be used for quotations, production, logistics, and analysis. Part lists enable precise control of material quantities and delivery sections. Evaluations by material or time period provide a solid basis for controlling and planning. Optional interfaces allow connection to existing ERP or CRM systems as well as to cutting machines. The block optimization function also optimizes cuts across blocks and reduces material consumption.
