FOR ARCHITECTS AND ENGINEERS鈥�

Masonry content pack

The 91探花 Masonry Content Pack is a free library of contract-document-ready assets for Revit, offering both 2D and 3D content to support efficient modeling, coordination, and detailing.

Developed for AEC professionals, this comprehensive pack includes:

  • Clay brick units, walls, and bonding patterns
  • Concrete masonry units, walls, bond beams, and vertical grouted cells
  • Rainscreen wall systems (terra cotta, porcelain tile, and slate)
  • Masonry anchors and accessories to model virtual mockups at LOD 400
  • Structural masonry details and Forse/91探花 Insight PDFs

Hosted in CTC鈥檚 Nexus CMS, an industry-leading platform for organizing and managing BIM content, 91探花鈥檚 masonry library can be found under the Manufacturers tab in the Architecture discipline.

Masonry IQ

3DiQ’s Masonry IQ is a smart masonry tool inside Revit that improves modeling productivity with features that allow you to:

  • Study modularity
  • Generate coursed wall sections
  • See cuts at openings
  • Place bond beams
  • Generate sweeps
  • View properly bonded corners
  • Explore masonry patterns

Masonry Assembly Thermal Simulation Software

This software from NCMA helps you determine thermal properties of masonry assemblies with greater ease and accuracy.听

  • Determine steady-state thermal properties, like R-value and U-factor.
  • Perform dynamic analysis using simulated climate conditions to evaluate the impacts of thermal mass on performance.
  • 听Compatible with systems that have unique unit configurations.

FOR STRUCTURAL ENGINEERS

EleMasonry

With NCMA’s EleMasonry, quickly and easily generate code-compliant designs that allow you to review and check all design calculations.听

  • Design walls, columns, beams, and pilasters.听
  • Access a solver that accommodates accurate and flexible handling for various wall configurations, including:
    • Bars both centered and at faces
    • Bars spaced further than the flexural compression limit (6t)
    • Concentrated bars at wall ends
  • Supports Strength Design and Allowable Stress Design methodologies.

Direct Design Software for Masonry Structures

NCMA’s Direct Design Software allows you to design an entire masonry structure in minutes with a few simple inputs.听
  • Unlock the power of the Direct Design approach with full automation, including the detailing of every block and reinforcing bar.
  • Import building models from Revit and export structural schedules back.
  • Easily communicate designs to your drafter or contractor with fully-detailed wall elevation drawings.
  • See every calculation and decision made by the program and verify as necessary.
