WinGARD PE / WinGARD MP
Window Glazing Analysis Response and Design (WinGARD) was developed for the GSA as a simple, accurate analytical modeling tool for the response of windows to the effects of an explosion. The program calculates and graphically displays the response of window systems subjected to blast loads.
WinGARD MP is an advanced program capable of analyzing multi-paned window systems. WinGARD MP utilizes the existing analysis models contained in WinGARD PE coupled with a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) code to model the combined response of the windows and the supporting framing, mullions or muntins.
More detail is provided for these GSA codes at the GSA's Design and Construction and Security Engineering web portals.
