What is GlassCalc?
GlassCalc is a powerful software tool used for the design and analysis of specialty glass structures. It enables engineers, architects, researchers, and other glass professionals to model a wide range of glass types and configurations for structural, thermal, optical, solar, and other simulations.
Key features and capabilities of GlassCalc include:
- Advanced finite element analysis for stress, deflection, and buckling simulations
- Comprehensive glass product library with data for annealed, heat-strengthened, tempered, laminated, and other glass types
- Modeling and simulation of complex glass geometry including curves, notches, holes, and attachments
- Thermal analysis to model temperature distribution, heat flow, thermal stress, and fracture
- Daylighting, solar heat gain, and solar photovoltaic simulations for glass facades and fenestration
- Customizable post-processing and visualization of analysis results
- Interoperability with commonly used CAD software for efficient model imports
With its robust simulation capabilities tailored for glass structures, GlassCalc enables architects, facade engineers, researchers, and other specialists to accurately predict glass performance and optimize designs for strength, energy efficiency, visual comfort and more.
