Leviat has partnered with Losch Software to enhance our support for design professionals working on insulated sandwich panel connector selection and layout.
The latest version of LECWall 3, (version 12.5.5 or newer), incorporates a built-in partial-composite calculator that includes Thermomass Series CC and Series X connectors.
Active license holders can upgrade to the latest version free of charge.
For more information, please visit the LECWall site at http://www.loschsoft.net/lecwall.html. Training can be accessed at http://www.loschsoft.net/lecwall-tutorials.html.
Note: Leviat recommends using LECWall’s beam-spring method for panels using Thermomass insulation products.
Legacy Software
Since 2015, users have been able to download a custom Thermomass software tool for creating energy-efficient, integrally-insulated concrete walls. That application – Thermomass System SC Design Analysis Software – was created specifically for the design and analysis of structurally composite sandwich wall panels featuring Thermomass CC Series and X Series fiber-composite connectors.
While that software is still available, it is no longer being actively developed. Leviat recommends that designers use the latest version of LECWall’s software for panel design, calculations, and connector spacing.
