AXISVM CONFIGURATIONS
BASIC PACKAGES AND MODULES
CUSTOMIZABLE SOFTWARE CONFIGURATIONS
Thanks to the modular design of AXISVM, engineers are free to choose their own design tools.
AXISVM offers benefits such as cost reduction or design flexibility according to their project’s needs or budget,
by means of customizing computing capacity and add-on modules.
The STANDARD (S) version with limited capacity is suitable for modeling smaller structures.
The PROFESSIONAL (P) version has no limitation on numbers of finite elements.

MODULE GROUPS
RC STRUCTURES
The modules for reinforced concrete (RC) structures provide an efficient solution to the design of columns, beams, wall, slab, shell, and footing systems. Modelling of post-tensioned beams and slabs is also possible. Considering actual reinforcements in the analysis, the nonlinear displacement of the structure can be evaluated more accurately.
Fire design for complex RC structures is available (RC8-B and RC8-S modules).
STEEL STRUCTURES
The module group developed for steel structures allows for the design of steel members. A fire load case can also be considered. The optimization module can assist in finding more economical designs.
The SC1 module covers the design of the most commonly used welded and bolted steel joints.
TIMBER STRUCTURES
In the modules developed for timber structures, simple and complex space frame structures can be analysed, cross-sections can be optimised considering various criteria, and the reliability of these structures under fire condition can be ensured.
The unique cross-laminated timber (XLM) design module provides an appropriate theoretical and computing background for the design of these novel structures.
MASONRY STRUCTURES
This module allows for the comprehensive design of unreinforced masonry walls subjected to mainly vertical loads and shear forces. Walls can be analysed either as a single wall or as a complex multi-storey wall segment. The wall-slab connection, which can have a significant influence on load capacity, can be taken into account.
SEISMIC ANALYSES
The earthquake resistance of structures can be verified by a modal response spectrum, pushover, or time-history analysis, according to the Eurocode, NTC, or SIA standards. In the analysis, the effect of seismic isolators and dampers on the structural response can also be considered.
DYNAMIC ANALYSES
The DYN module is suitable for the numerical solution of general dynamics problems considering linear or non-linear material properties and geometric nonlinearity. The FFA module is specialized to determine and check the accelerations of slabs and stairs due to human-induced vibrations.
METEOROLOGICAL LOADS
The modules provide solutions for the automatic generation and complex handling of wind and snow loads acting on structures. They useful to standard structural model types or to unique-shaped structures using wind tunnel simulation. There are powerful result visualisation options to handle a significant number of load combinations.
BIM COLLABORATION
The advanced BIM connectivity (IFC based or special interface) allows direct two-directional data exchange with any other software using BIM technology (e.g. ArchiCAD, AutoDesk ADT, Revit, Nemetschek Allplan, Tekla Structures, etc.). With such extensive connectivity, the changes in a model can be tracked, assisting the cooperation of architects and engineers working on the design.
