GD.01 – Single layer glass check

 

• The user can perform ULS and SLS check for shell elements that are fabricated from monolithic glass. (Single layer)

• There are additional 2D that are added for each element in order to provide fabrication data that influences the final capacity.

• The result will be graphical unity display and a detailed report of the check that can be sent to Scia’s Engineering report.

 

Useful for: Can be suitable for designing a glass element (Balustrade, slab, stair) that is not made of laminated glass.

 

GD.02 – Glass Design Laminated Multi-Layer

 

• GD.01 is included.

• The program determines the effective thickness according to prEN16612 for stress check and for deflection check.

• The additional 2D data will open a database of materials, foils and an editor for the glass composition (glass, foil….)

• Most of the structural glass used in the world is laminated glass (secured glass) to ensure safety even after breakage occurs.

 

Useful for: Designing Secured/laminated glass elements and structures.

 

GD.03 – Glass Design Insulated Units

 

• GD.01 and GD.02 is included.

• The program allows to design insulated units (double, triple, straight and curved).

• The module calculated the isochore pressure that act on each glass layer due to gas expansions and contractions produced by height and temperature difference.

• The glass package can contain any mixture of single layer or laminated glass layer and it uses the checks from GD.01 and GD.02.

 

Useful for: Designing Facades and any complex glass structure.
