Masonry Design
MWX+
The MWX+ program is used to verify the structural safety of individual walls. In these calculations, the transition to the global structural system is established via corresponding border conditions from the adjoining components (bending stiffness of walls underneath and above the considered wall, supporting conditions of floor slabs on the opposite side of the wall). In addition to individual walls, the user can perform calculations of structural systems that consist of basement walls, intermediate storey walls, and top storey walls.
Moreover, MWX+ allows the user to analyse bracing wall diaphragms loaded by diaphragm-related shear.

Raising foundation design to a new level
The new FD+ PRO module is an add-on which, with the purchase of an additional licence, significantly extends the scope of foundation design for the FD+, FDS+, FDB+ and GBR+ programs.
Time-efficient structural design thanks to Open-BIM
In Bad Aibling, a spa town in the foothills of the Alps near Rosenheim, a gigantic new residential quarter will be built in three construction phases over the next few years. The engineering office concon from Traunstein was entrusted with the overall planning supervision of the construction project.
