Advanced FEM analysis and code verification for any glass geometry — web app and Grasshopper plugin.
Advanced FEM analysis and code verification for any glass geometry — web app and Grasshopper plugin.
Whether you work in a browser or inside Rhino, GLASSS gives you the same rigorous structural engine.
A full structural analysis suite in your browser. Define geometry, configure supports and loads, run FEM, check against EN/ASTM standards, and generate a professional PDF report — all in one workflow.
Connect any parametric geometry in Rhino/Grasshopper directly to the GLASSS cloud engine. Verify any glass shape — flat, curved, or freeform — without leaving your model.
The solid-shell finite element methods at GLASSS's core are grounded in research published in the International Journal of Solids and Structures. Not a black box — open science.
Read the PaperFrom geometry input to PDF report — a complete structural glass workflow.
Define shape, curvature, built-up angle, and laminate layup. Flat, curved, or freeform.
Configure point supports, edge conditions, and spacer elements for any structural scenario.
Build combinations from wind, snow, barrier, climate, and custom load cases.
Select verification standards, adjust design values, and configure deflection limits.
Full FEM results — displacements and principal stresses for every load combination.
Instant utilisation ratios and safety factors validated against EN 16612, EN 16613, and ASTM E1300 design standards.
