Calculation Possibilites

LAMGLAS Skytec® Point Fixed Glass Engineering is suited for dimensioning as well as for static calculations, for which we offers a variety of calculation possibilities:

 

• Automated mesh generation for straight or curved borders by the input of corner points. The element size is preset, but may also be changed manually to increase the accuracy of the calculation.

• With this, LAMGLAS Skytec® systems are shape including cut-offs or holes are possible

• LAMGLAS Skytec® systems are subsequent calculations can be made linear or geometrically non-linear (large deformations).

• Any pane structure (e. g. of laminated safety glass) considering the stiffness of the compound material by input of the layer order

• Consideration of pre-defined bearing designs for the plate edges as well as for any point bearing with the corresponding spring rigidities

• Fully automated installation of point fixings of LAMGLAS Skytec®

• LAMGLAS Skytec® countersunk between laminated glass or disk fixings (own elements) with the stiffness of the circular plate layer and the bush by means of elasticity-module and thickness specifications

• LAMGLAS Skytec® balustrade clips with circular or angular shape (usable as glass shoes)

• LAMGLAS Skytec® Countersunk between UVK laminated glass point supported insulating glass units

• LAMGLAS Skytec® spacers in insulation glass (e.g. unsupported borders)

• elastic edge or line supports including contact conditions

• LAMGLAS Skytec® elastic beams acting at the borders

• LAMGLAS Skytec® elastic base calculations

• Any positioning of local springs with translation and rotation degrees

• Calculation of stresses resulting from temperature differences given for each layer

• LAMGLAS Skytec® point fixed glass facade, face loads, line loads, water pressure

• LAMGLAS Skytec® point fixed glass facade dead weight (indication by the direction of the gravity vector)

• LAMGLAS Skytec® point fixed glass facade any point loads which are automatically distributed over the given area

• Calculation of insulation glass under consideration of the gas pressure laws in the intermediate pane space (gap) under any load (climate loads like pressure differences, thermal expansion of the gas, external loads, pendulum impact,…)

• All loads can be combined

• LAMGLAS Skytec® point fixings or the panes inside the insulation glass can be calculated with contact algorithms

• Dynamical calculation of the pendulum impact for single-layer glass, laminated and insulation glass of any design

• The drop height of the pendulum and the impact point can be freely chosen

• Linear or non-linear approaches for single glass layers, laminated safety glass and also for insulating glass units

• Output of curve diagrams for forces, deformations and stresses during the impact period for any predefined position

• LAMGLAS Skytec® Dynamically calculated pressure hits like wind blasts on glass panes

• LAMGLAS Skytec® calculation of load cases with any combinations of loads and related safety factor

• Manifold evaluation possibilities in the post-processor

• Stresses across the plate thickness and layer order at any point
