This animation was created using Autodesk Inventor software and shows the installation process for the unitized curtain wall I designed at the company where I work. Every component in the model was created from “scratch” including nuts and bolts, and more than 70 new custom extrusion profiles, to make this model. Each individual window unit contains more that 700 parts. The model contains over 6,000 parts. Curtain wall is the glass, aluminum, metal panel, and sometimes, stone facade used on medium and high rise buildings. Unitized curtain wall is a curtain wall that is engineered, manufactured, assembled, and glazed at a factory, and shipped to the project site for field installation. As shown in the video, the curtain wall is installed one panel at a time anchored to the structure. Each panel varies in size, but are typically around 5′-0″ wide and 11′-0″ to 14′-0″ in height.
