SHAPE-MASSIVE - Thick-Walled Cross-Sections
Various Polygonal Cross-Sections
Section Properties, Stress Analysis, and Reinforced Concrete Design of Thick-Walled Cross-Sections
The stand?alone program SHAPE?MASSIVE determines section properties of any thick-walled cross?section and calculates the stresses. In addition, you can perform reinforced concrete design according to Eurocode 2 and other standards.
SHAPE-MASSIVE provides the option of interface with RFEM and RSTAB: SHAPE?MASSIVE cross?sections are available in the library of the FEA or frame analysis software, and vice versa, it is possible to import and design the internal forces from RFEM and RSTAB in SHAPE?MASSIVE.
The structural data can be entered graphically, in tables, or by means of a DXF file.

Input
It is possible to freely model a cross-section using surfaces limited by polygonal lines, including openings and point areas (reinforcements). Alternatively, you can use the DXF interface to import the geometry. An extensive material library facilitates modeling of composite cross-sections.
Definition of limit diameters and priorities allows for a curtailment of reinforcements. In addition, you can consider the respective concrete covers and prestresses.
