W-Glass Solver

W-Glass — Glass Bending & Thermal Stress FEM Solver

Perform mathematically rigorous Finite Element Method (FEM) plate analysis for glass under uniform wind pressures and concentrated loads. Fully compliant with EN 16612 and EN 13474 standards.

Unrivaled Glass Calculation Core

  • Monolithic, laminated, double, and triple insulating glass units (IGU) modeling.
  • Polyvinyl Butyral (PVB) and Ionoplast (SentryGlas) interlayer shear coupling stiffness analysis.
  • Temperature and climatic load cavity pressure changes under EN 1279 compliance.
  • Non-linear large deflection checks (membrane stress effects) for thin glass panes.

Design Codes & Standard Compliance

  • EN 16612: Determination of the lateral load resistance of glass panes.
  • EN 13474: Glass in building — Determination of the strength of glass panes.
  • ASTM E1300: Standard practice for determining load resistance of glass in buildings.
