Schucal 2022 – Changes for US market
I. General program changes (for all design types)
Unit overview list:
Flexible lists – Beta version for testing
(Only program versions 64-bit.)
If you have set the language for the program interface as German, you will find the Use flexible list (beta) option in the settings for the Unit overview list. By checking this box, you are able to create a custom template in the List & Label Report Designer, optimised to suit your specific area of use. In the WYSIWYG Editor with live data preview function, you can select numerous form fields to design the list layout. In the Output options dialog box, only the options that will impact your template are displayed in the settings for the list.
Please note:
This is a beta version of this new function. Give it a try! The output of the Unit overview list that you are familiar with is still the default. After carrying out your test, you can easily return to the default by unchecking the box for Use flexible list (beta).
Interface with basket in Schüco Connect
(Germany only as of 2021 R3 SP03.)
As of this version 2021 R2 SP03, when the program is installed in Germany, the new Schüco Connect button can be found in the Output menu ribbon.
By clicking the button, the material from a selected item is transferred directly to your basket in Schüco Connect in accordance with your settings, where you can then continue the order process in a way that is transparent and easier to plan.
You can find more information about the Schüco Connect service portal on the Schüco website under My Workplace > Schüco Connect.
UKCA marking for the UK market
(As of 2021 R3 SP03)
The UKCA (UK Conformity Assessed) marking is the new British product marking required for certain products that are to be sold in Great Britain (England, Wales and Scotland). It concerns most products that previously required CE marking.
In the output options for the CE marking, Declaration of Performance and Print CE labels lists, you can select the UKCA marking as an option for CE marking.
- For the CE marking, the UKCA marking and the Designated standard text are output.
- For the Declaration of Performance, the Designated standard text is output.
- For the Print CE labels option, the UKCA marking is output.
The following system description has been changed.
For the Schüco AWS 60 FRA window system, in addition to the doors from the Schüco ADS 60 CH system that could be used in the previous version, doors with the relevant profiles for France from the Schüco ADS 60 system can be used as of this version.
To differentiate between the two, select the option ADS or ADS CH as the Profile type for the door in the Field properties dialog box.
The system description has been changed accordingly.
The following systems have been removed from the Schüco range and will no longer be available in the program for new items.

Please note:
With the service pack that is to be released at the end of April 2022, revised calculation of the minimum dimensions and the integration of components that are relevant for safety (engagement spring catches and safety catches) will be made available. The calculation of existing items will then change. Please therefore observe the order and fabrication manuals (BK 2-7 Unitised façades (February 2022); fabrication manual 2-7 Unitised façades (February 2022)) for these openings.
Schüco AF UDC 80, Schüco AF UDC 80 SG:
Calculation of the articles for façade fixings
In the previous versions, the articles for the façade fixings were always calculated automatically (brackets, floor panels). As of this version, you can define the calculation using the new Façade fixing technical setting under the Installation group. The box is unchecked by default.
The fixing points for the preliminary structural calculation continue to be calculated independently of your setting.
Please note:
This change affects your existing items. The articles for the façade fixings are no longer calculated. You have to check the box for the item, if required.
Schüco AF UDC 80:
Unpunched pressure plates
As of this version, there is the option to calculate unpunched pressure plates in addition to the pre-punched pressure plates with hole spacing of 250 mm or 500 mm. For these unpunched pressure plates, the screws are not calculated automatically and must be entered as additional material (quantity according to structural requirements).
The Hole spacing for pressure plates setting under the Type group has been renamed Pressure plates. You will find the additional option of Unpunched there.
Preliminary structural calculation
Schüco AF UDC 80, Schüco AF UDC 80 SG:
Distance between blocks
As of this version, you can influence the result of the preliminary structural calculation by changing the position of the glazing blocks. To do this, you have to call up the Preliminary structural calculation dialog box in the item window. In the Insulating glass values properties list, under the Distance between blocks group you will find the fields for the different purposes with the corresponding default values.
(Frame, UF: 87 mm, Sash bar, UF: 100 mm, Corner sash bar, UF: 99 mm). The reference points for the dimension to the centre of the glazing block are the outer edge of the UF frame, the outer edge of the UF sash bar and the gasket chamber of the UF corner sash bar.
These distances can each be reduced to min. 50 mm and increased to max. 300 mm.
