SHAPE-MASSIVE 6.xx

Section Properties of Thick-Walled Sections, Stress Analysis and Reinforced Concrete Design 
SHAPE-MASSIVE can be run independently. This program calculates the cross-section properties for thick-walled sections of any shape and determines their stresses. Besides, a reinforced concrete design can be performed for axial force, shear forces, torsion and biaxial bending moments according to DIN 1045-1, ÖNORM B 4700 and Eurocode 2.

There exists an interface to RSTAB and RFEM: SHAPE-MASSIVE sections are also accessible in the framework and FEA programs, and vice versa it is possible to import the internal forces from RSTAB and RFEM into SHAPE-MASSIVE for the design.

The sections can be defined graphically, in tables or by importing a DXF file.

Input



The cross-section can be modeled freely via surfaces limited by polygonal lines, including openings and point areas (reinforcement bars). Alternatively, you can use the DXF interface to import the geometry. A comprehensive material library facilitates the modeling of composite sections.

By defining limit diameters and priorities, a curtailment of the reinforcement can be allowed for. Additionally, the respective concrete covers and prestresses can be considered.

Results


All results can be evaluated numerically and graphically in an attractive way. For the visualization, selection tools enable you to examine the results in detail.

The printout report is consistent with the high standards of RSTAB and RFEM. Modifications of the section are updated automatically. Furthermore, a condensed short form printout can be created that includes all relevant section data and a user-defined image.
