Movable frame

From Opera Wiki

Chamber

This is the overall clearance value measured perpendicular to the thickness, excluding only the stop flange and the glass flange.

If it is a sliding movable frame, the chamber value is given by the total height excluding the glass stop flange.

Stop flange

This is the length of the stop flange.

Glass flange

This is the length of the glass stop flange.

Glass flange thickness

This is the thickness of the glass stop flange in the area where the gasket must be installed.

Tooth

This is the height of the tooth, which affects the end connections.

N.B: When calculating the cut length of a transom or mullion, Opera also considers the end-connection operation. For this purpose, the program takes into account the height of the tooth of the profile to which it must be connected.

If it is an inserted-glass profile, the tooth value will correspond to the negative value of the glass flange height.

Thickness

This is the thickness of the profile measured on the glass housing side.

In the case of an inserted-glass profile, this refers to the thickness of the glass housing.

Interc (Intercavity)

This is the distance between one profile and another, measured from the beginning of one chamber to the beginning of the other.

If it is a sliding movable frame, this value must be negative and will correspond to the entry dimension into the fixed frame.

Glass interspace

This is the space that must remain between the glass and the profile.

N.B: This usually corresponds to the clearance value of the spacer shims. This value is also considered when calculating the filling dimensions. However, it is important to know that there is a hierarchy of precedence that the program uses when checking the glass interspace value: the first value examined is the one set on the filling; if this is 0 (zero), the one set on the glazing bead is checked; if that is also 0 (zero), the one set on the frame profile (fixed or sash) is finally checked.

Template

Indicates the template code.

N.B: There are three codes: Z, L, T. A correct template code setting allows the program to determine if the node being created is suitable for internal or external openings. In the case of a shutter profile, the template must be set to T in order to display the external opening type.

Header angle

Angle formed by the profiles meeting the fixed frame.

Separator

Sets the profile as a separator.

Overlap distance

Field used to set the overlap distance between the frame and the sash.

Coplanarity

The function of this box is directed to the creation of nodes. For profiles that have coplanarity, such as between the frame and the sash, by entering the value in this box, when the program detects the profile image in the Node Creation window, it takes this value into account, positioning the sections with the coplanarity value.
