Masonry Software

The Masonry Assembly Thermal Simulation software is designed for professionals in the masonry industry, such as architects, engineers, and contractors. It helps them determine the thermal properties of masonry assemblies, including both steady-state and dynamic thermal properties2. This tool is particularly useful for those working with unique unit configurations and looking to evaluate the impacts of thermal mass on performance.

The Direct Design Software for Masonry Structures: a powerful tool designed to streamline the design process for masonry buildings. Developed by Ensoltech, Inc. in cooperation with the National Concrete Masonry Association (NCMA), this software allows for the efficient design of single- and multi-story concrete masonry unit (CMU) buildings.

Key features include:

• Fast and Comprehensive Design: The software enables the design of an entire masonry structure in minutes with just a few simple inputs.
• Detailed Drawings: It provides fully detailed wall elevation drawings, including dimensioned bars, control joints, and all wall elevations.
• Revit Integration: The latest version includes an import/export feature with Autodesk Revit, allowing users to import building models from Revit and export structural schedules back.
• Transparency: The software displays the full text of every calculation and decision made, allowing users to verify each step.

EleMasonry is an innovative software package designed for the structural design of various masonry elements. It can be used to develop code-compliant designs for walls, columns, beams, and pilasters. The software provides detailed output that helps users understand the application of design methodologies in TMS 402, Building Code Requirements for Masonry Structures2.

EleMasonry is particularly useful for engineers, designers, and code officials who need to complete design work quickly and efficiently while adhering to current building codes2.

Masonry IQ Build – Contractors

An enhanced version of our software created for contractors, Masonry iQ BUILD creates estimates from highly accurate component level data models. Contractors can use Masonry iQ BUILD to model rebar, pull quantities, and tie cost to a full masonry assembly, creating a thorough and accurate bid.

Masonry iQ Design – Architects

Masonry iQ is an Autodesk® Revit® plugin that supports masonry products and allows the user to create masonry specific wall types. The plugin includes a 3D viewer to visualize patterns and bonding at corners. It allows architects to improve their workflow while creating 3D models with masonry-specific wall types, stock or custom bond patterns, and computer analysis of wall geometry that includes corner bonding.
