Curved Glass Stair Design

Curved Glass Stair Design

(OP)
Iv'e been asked to design a curved glass stair system that is completely constructed of glass much like those stairs seen in the Apple stores.  What FEA program is best suited to modeling curved and flat glass plates that will be joined together with spyders and routels?

RE: Curved Glass Stair Design

Thanks for the link to the website.  We've completed our design. We developed a 3D model in AutoCad and then exported it to Nastran for FEA analysis.  This worked well.

RE: Curved Glass Stair Design

Appreciate the feedback.

Just watch out for the lawsuits, voyeurism, etc. Noticed several references to lawsuits while recovering this site.
