3DMacro
Design and verification of strengthening interventions on existing structures
With 3DMacro you can design strengthening systems such as tie rods and chains, reinforced masonry solutions, and FRP/FRCM strengthening using fibre-reinforced composite materials (carbon, glass, steel, etc.). New features and a simplified input workflow are available to characterise the masonry typologies defined by Circular 7/2019, with particular reference to existing buildings, and the software can automatically identify masonry piers.

Nonlinear sparse-matrix solver
The software includes a high-performance sparse-matrix solver developed by researchers at the University of Catania, enabling force- and displacement-controlled nonlinear static analyses to assess the structure’s load-bearing capacity under both static and seismic conditions.

Clear and intuitive results interpretation
Results visualisation is simple and intuitive, providing a clear view of the global and local response of each fibre through dedicated damage indicators, interface stress diagrams between macro-elements, as well as action/response diagrams and strength domains for each section of the frame finite elements—both in 3D views and in easy-to-read 2D plots.

Clear and user-friendly results interpretation
Results visualisation is simple and intuitive, providing a clear picture of the global and local response of each fibre through dedicated damage indicators, interface stress diagrams between macro-elements, as well as internal force diagrams and strength domains for each cross-section of the frame finite elements—both via 3D views and easy-to-read 2D plots.
