Discover Glass Composition Model

The Glass Composition Model allows you to precisely define the layer structure of your glass design. You can specify different layers, such as glass or foil, to meet your project requirements.

When a surface with a glass composition is used, the "Glass Composition Model" is generated automatically, providing additional customization options. For instance, you can decide whether to enable shear coupling between layers or leave them uncoupled, offering flexibility in designing the mechanical behavior of your glass structure.

Design Glass According to International Standards

With the Glass Design Add-on, you can perform structural analysis and design of single-pane or laminated glass according to ASTM E1300, DIN 18008, or without relying on any specific standard.

Laminated glass is a typical example of using glass in structural projects that combine structural and aesthetic requirements. Compared to conventional glass, it offers enhanced stability and improved failure behavior.
