S.T.A. DATA offers software and services for structural calculation. Practical, truly operational tools, created by a team of expert professionals, to solve every need.
The Local Verifications for masonry buildings module offers advanced tools for building analysis, integrating with the OPEN modeler for the management of churches and complex structures. It allows precise modeling of kinematic blocks, loads, and ties, performing linear and nonlinear analyses of local mechanisms.
The package also includes tools for the analysis of masonry piers, infill walls, single walls, and geotechnical analyses, useful for the designer for quick and reliable local assessments. For more details on these features, visit the dedicated page.
Furthermore, it is possible to make use of the FEM environment for complete static analysis, ensuring precision and flexibility across the entire structural model.
Advanced Seismic Analysis: Integration with the Local Mechanisms (ML) Module
The Local Mechanisms (ML) Module integrates seamlessly with structures modeled through our OPEN Modeler, making it the ideal tool for verifying kinematic mechanisms in existing masonry buildings. Thanks to this synergy, you will be able to clearly and flexibly define the geometry of the kinematic blocks, the applied loads, and the integration of ties. ML is essential for managing structures of any complexity, from the most regular to complex monuments, offering the possibility of performing both linear and nonlinear seismic analyses.
FEM Static Analysis
In addition to the analysis of kinematic mechanisms through the ML Module and finite element (FEM) static analysis, the Local Verifications for masonry buildings package further extends your calculation capabilities. By purchasing this add-on module, you will also have access to specific tools for Pushover Analysis on a single wall, the verification of masonry piers, the analysis of infill walls, and geotechnical assessments. This complete suite ensures that you can address every local verification required by the codes, starting directly from your structural model.
For more details on all the included features, we invite you to visit the page dedicated to the Local Verifications module for masonry buildings.
Operational Flexibility
By leveraging the freedom offered by OPEN, ML guarantees an environment free of rigid constraints for managing local mechanisms. Your workflow becomes logical and complete: from importing survey data to drawing kinematic blocks, from setting constraints and loads to the integration of ties and reinforcements.
ML allows you to analyze the two critical categories of mechanisms: Out-of-Plane (such as overturning and corner collapses) and In-Plane (essential for porticoes, arches, and complex structures), ensuring that you can model and verify every potential failure scenario.
