NOSA-ITACA code
NOSA-ITACA results from the integration of the finite element code NOSA with the open source interactive graphic code SALOME, used both to define the geometry of the structure under examination and to visualise the results of the structural analysis.
NOSA-ITACA can be used to study the static and dynamic behaviour of masonry buildings of historic and architectural interest and model the effectiveness of strengthening operations. The code is at the disposal of private and public bodies operating in the field of the conservation and safeguarding of the cultural heritage.

NOSA-ITACA 1.1c is a software product of the Mechanics of Materials and Structures Laboratory of ISTI-CNR (herein MMSLab of ISTI-CNR), distributed via the http://www.nosaitaca.it website.
We are updating the NOSA-ITACA code to be compatible with the latest version of Ubuntu and the Salome platform, and we are also working on making it available for Windows.
In the meantime, you can use NOSA-ITACA by downloading the pre-configured virtual machine (below) and importing it into Oracle VirtualBox.
Once the virtual machine is set up and Ubuntu starts (login password: nosaitaca), open a terminal and type the command: nosaitaca.
Enjoy!
