- specialized software packages like ABAQUS, Hypermesh, and PLAXIS for structural analysis:
- special loads: seismic events, impact, thermal exposure, fire
- modal analysis, time history analysis, nonlinear static analysis (pushover)
- geometric and material nonlinearity (concrete, steel, soil)
- inspections of bridges according to DIN 1076
- software for all general problems in building physics as well as for specialized problems like thermo-hygro coupled mechanisms
- computations in concrete technology (e.g. prognosis of concrete durability)
- monitoring of buildings (e.g. measurements of internal stresses and restraint stresses, deformations, cracks, temperature, climatic exposure)
- tendering an letting of building works (RIB Arriba)
- CAD (AutoCAD/SofiCAD, Nemetscheck)
Shock and vibration monitoring
- sensors and equipment for multichannel data logging of shock and vibration
- software for various evaluation procedures (e.g. DIN 4150)
