Aspen employs cutting edge computer technology to ensure
the most accurate drawing possible. In 2004, Aspen purchased
Athena from CAD-PLAN Germany. Athena is the leading Auto-Cad
compatible design tool for metal construction and façade
engineering. Athena offers intelligent solutions to problems
specific to façade engineering. Athena generates
aluminum panel layout and sheet sizing, curtain wall and
storefront material take-offs. Athena contains useful tools
for statics and building physics. Athena can test thermal
resistance on aluminum assemblies consisting of several
layers. Athena gives Aspen the ability to check required
moment of inertia and deflection. We can check center of
gravity and moment and provide panel and solid thickness
calculations. Athena also includes a light version of flixo,
the leading technical software for thermal-hydro analysis
and reporting. Athena also enables 3-D modeling to be incorporated
into shop drawings in turn allowing for complex angles to
be displayed with ease.
Athena by CAD-PLAN has a variety of tools for
many industrial need exceeding construction. With Athena, complete
part by part listings can be generated from CAD frame elevations,
with some standard parts information and details being known. You
can analize material shapes for structural strength, heat
penetration and a wide variety of structural information.
Athena offers training in use of some of their softwares more detailed
features, as well as full motion video examples. For more information on Athena,
