3Muri software is regarded as the most reliable for seismic calculation of masonry structures in the academic world. The strengths of 3Muri are its easy-to-use interface and its innovative computation method (FME) that is able to give more information on the structure’s real behavior to seismic actions. 3Muri offers a drawing area for insertion of the structure with intuitive controls, an engine for the creation of computation models and their solutions, and a post-processor for immediate presentation of the results and creation of the computation report. The software was created by a joint project of S.T.A. DATA and a research group headed by Prof. Sergio Lagomarsino, from the Construction Technique department of Genova University.

The latest release of the program is 3Muri 10. For more information and to download a free trial, visit the developer’s website.
