New in UDS DACH ONLINE – Select individual board dimensions for more precise material planning
 

In UDS DACH ONLINE, board width and depth can now be set independently of one another. This allows both square and rectangular tapered insulation boards to be included directly in the calculation.

 

Here's how it works

  • After the roof outline has been drawn and drainage and collision objects have been added, you can then configure the settings for the calculation.
     
  • On the “Create & Calculate” page, first select the desired dimensions for board depth and board width. Different values can be combined - for example, for a rectangular board format.
     
  • If the same dimensions are to apply to the flat insulation boards as well, the option “Also use configured board size for flat boards ” is also activated.
     
  • Next, the remaining calculation parameters and the required output are specified.
     
  • After that, the calculation can be started or continued by clicking “Next.”

Your Benefits

Greater Control Over Roof Layout

The ability to select board dimensions individually offers several advantages:

  • Square and rectangular formats: Board depth and width can be specified independently of one another.
  • More Realistic Planning: The layout can be better adapted to the board formats actually available.
  • Better alignment with manufacturer formats: Common dimensions can be taken into account as early as the planning stage.
  • Consistent board dimensions: If required, the selected dimensions can also be applied to flat insulation boards.
  • Greater planning reliability: Board format, slope, minimum height, and other calculation parameters are all taken into account together.

This allows the roof layout to be planned more precisely based on the board dimensions used in practice.
