This model shows an elegantly designed spiral staircase made of glass, which was specially developed for simulations using the finite element method in RFEM. It was presented as part of the free webinar "How to be More Productive with RFEM" on July 7, 2020 (in English, on July 7, 2020, in German) and is ideal for the practical demonstration of structural glass elements. The linked image visualizes the transparent, modern character of the staircase and emphasizes the fine detail of the modeling. It contains precise design approaches that can be used in innovative Projects of Glass structures. Further information on finite element simulations and glass architecture can be found in Glass Structures.
