See how Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software can help you solve complex structural designs effectively and efficiently while ensuring the health, safety, and welfare of building occupants. FEA data allows engineers to design a more efficient wall system that can save material, cost, and time. Efficiently designed masonry wall systems using FEA software improves sustainability and reduces material waste and noise in manufacturing and construction. This eases the burden on our infrastructure and offsets the effects of construction activities on our environment. Modeling and analyzing masonry wall systems leads to safer designs, reducing risk for design professionals, contractors, and occupants. You’ll see a guided walk though using Finite Element Analysis and component-based masonry design software.
Learning Objectives:

• Analyze the results of masonry wall systems designed with Finite Element Analysis.
  
  
• Discuss how updated masonry building codes impact masonry wall design.
  
  
• Describe the benefits to the project, environment, and people by modeling efficient masonry walls.
  
  
• Explore various software options for designing and analyzing masonry wall systems.
