DIN 18008 – Static software
GLASGLOBAL® is the software to calculate the structural analysis for glass regarding to the german standard DIN 18008 part 1 to 6. Exact results can be achieved in less time due to our high performance calculating engine and the finite-element-method. The loads regarding to european standard EN 1991-1 are preset in GLASGLOBAL®. This makes the software easy to handle and allows an intuitive entry of values.
Features
- Calculate horizontal, vertical, barrier/ fall proof, point fixed and walk-on glazings
- Local altitudes and wind/ snow loads can be determined by the german postcode
- Recommendation and optimization of glass thickness
- Consideration of the shear modulus in laminated safety glass
- Symmetric and asymmetric laminated safety glass up to eight panes
- Proof of the loads on edge compound
- Determination of chord shortening
- Static verification of glazing according to DIN 18008: 2012 Part 1 to 6
- Large number of pre-installed products such as glasses, point and clamp holders
- Calculation according to finite element method of any shape and storage of the glazing
- Maximum values of the deflection and tension of the individual washers for relevant and freely defined load combinations
- Verification of all load cases (snow, wind, dead weight, traffic loads)
- Wind and snow loads for Germany according to DIN 1055 with optionally available wind and snow load module for Switzerland
