Version and Material Database Help Please

Post by zaklee » Fri Nov 11, 2016 5:44 am -1100

I'm in the US and downloaded the WUFI-ORNL version of the software. So far, I'm very impressed. However, the material catalogs ("Generic Materials" and "North American Database") are very limited. Should I try a non-ORNL version or are there other material databases available for this version? The options under the Database menu are greyed out and I don't see any import/export options. I also can't find anything on the ORNL website - even the links from the WUFI website can't be resolved on ORNL's.

Hello Zaklee,
I am glad you like our Software :)
ORNL is not anymore the WUFI contact in the US and the WUFI ORNL version will not be developed further. Right now I am in the process to arrange with Fraunhofer IBP what free version for USA/Canada would be the best option.

WUFI Pro 6.1 which will be released this year has in the North American DB a few more products 14 more materials and over 20 more constructions and my company will go ahead and work more for this. You can follow me on @WUFI_US on Twitter to get the latest News.

Also I will move your post to the North America Section.

Kind Regards,
Manfred
