The modelling is carried out through dedicated macro-elements, and the strength of each masonry pier is evaluated by each step with the axial stress present in the wall. The cycle shape automatically adapts to the wall collapse mechanism (flexural or shear).<\/p>\r\n<p>All mechanisms are normally considered in the non-linear calculation (bending shear, sliding shear, diagonal cracking shear, and pure shear for spandrels). The analysis indicates the state of each degree of freedom of the wall for each step of the analysis.<\/p>\r\n<p>Moreover, accurate estimations of dissipated energy can be carried-out with this module: cycles shape automatically varies as a function of axial load and slenderness of the panel.<\/p>\r\n<p>Since v2.0, the module includes also checking for Steel Reinforced Masonry.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4003\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nextfem.it\/it\/wp-content\/uploads\/api.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"766\" height=\"52\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nextfem.it\/it\/wp-content\/uploads\/api.jpg 766w, https:\/\/www.nextfem.it\/it\/wp-content\/uploads\/api-300x20.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nextfem.it\/it\/wp-content\/uploads\/api-600x41.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.nextfem.it\/it\/wp-content\/uploads\/api-250x17.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 766px) 100vw, 766px\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p><a id=\"NFapi\"><\/a><strong>NextFEM API<\/strong> (Application Programming Interface) are dedicated to all the advanced needs, i.e. modelling by using other programs (Microsoft Office (R), AutoCAD (R), etc.) or spreadsheets.
