Dear STKO team, are there some recommended values for pdf_t and pdf_c for macroscopic modeling of masonry structures?

try to keep those values similar to each other. values from 0.3 to 0.6 (for both tension and compression) should be fine

Thank you very much, if I try to model a masonry structure in the micro model method, are there recommended values of pdf_t and pdf_c for brick and mortar?

If you use the micro modelling approach, I would typically go with higher values in mortar (around 0.6) and lower (0.1 - 0.2) in bricks.
But it always depends on your specific case
