GLASGLOBAL® 16612
The professional glass statics software GLASGLOBAL®16612 includes all load assumptions and calculations required by EN 16612. GLASGLOBAL®16612 can be used to statically dimension glass in accordance with EN 16612. All loads to be taken into account, such as snow, wind, dead weight, traffic loads or climatic fluctuations in air pressure and temperature, are checked during the calculation. The verifications of stress and deflection are displayed together with the applied loads on a clear printout of the results.
Features
- Horizontal and vertical glazing
- Symmetric and asymmetric insulating glass units (IGUs)
- Membrane tension effect for non-linear structural behavior
- Consideration of shear bond (EN 16612, Annex D; ω-values)
- Optimization of glass thicknesses (proposal module and size matrix)
- Maximum edge load in the edge bond of IGUs
- Loads from climate and altitude
- Calculation of all relevant load cases
- Maximum cord shortening
- Adjustable specifications for values that may vary across European countries, such as partial safety factors or combination coefficients
- Sound database for determining the Rw value for specific constructions
- Validation by the University of Munich

Our customer feedback
"As a long-standing partner of Sommer Informatik, we have been using the GLASGLOBAL® software since the introduction of DIN 18008. In cooperation with the TU Dresden, we have tested various glass statics programs. GLASGLOBAL® is currently the only software program to achieve 100% of the mandatory requirements. Sommer Informatik was also able to cover 52% of the nice-to-have criteria."
