Masonry Design Using FE Method

Masonry is considered as solid and durable. To use these properties successfully in your construction project, we recommend you to use our structural analysis program RFEM.

In the respective Masonry Design add-on, the program takes over the design of masonry for you and uses the well-known finite element method for this. Thus, you will achieve success with your project brick by brick.

Our Solution for You:

Main Program RFEM 6

Masonry Design

The Masonry Design add-on for RFEM allows you to design masonry using the finite element method. It was developed as part of the research project "DDMaS – Digitizing the Design of Masonry Structures".

Solution for Masonry Design

The structural FEA engineering software RFEM allows for easy and efficient modeling, as well as the structural analysis and design of general 2D and 3D structures consisting of member, plate, wall, shell, solid, and contact elements.

The application areas of RFEM are diverse. The FEM package is used in a wide variety of industries and areas.

Outstanding Software

You are making great improvements to the Dlubal software RFEM, the Add-ons, codes, etc. It is great to see how Dlubal has become an outstanding software for structural engineers. I particularly love to see that tensile membrane structures can also be modeled with Dlubal. Kudos!

More About Customer Project

Hotel Intercontinental in Davos, Switzerland

In December 2013, a hotel with extraordinary architecture opened in Davos, Switzerland. The building has the shape of a “Golden Egg” and is situated on a mountainside. The hotel is elliptical in shape, with all the corners rounded. It was constructed using reinforced concrete, and its external dimensions are about 105 m× 40 m (344 ft × 131 ft).
