| News in RFEM 4 To RFEM 4, a number of news and improvements is added that accelerate calculation speed and extend the RFEM usage in practice. The overview of news and their description can be found in the following page. |

| User Interface The structural input can be carried out graphically in a CAD-like interface as well as numerically in tables. Additionally, there is a possibility to use the context menus (right-click any item) in the data navigator. The input can be permanently checked visually by means of the photorealistic visualization of the structure as a 3D rendered OpenGL graphic. |

| Design RFEM 4 offers you a series of effective tools to create a static structural model quickly. With the library of parametrized blocks you can generate commonly used structures or snow and wind loads according to new European standards. Advanced modeling functions facilitate the creation of the model in the RFEM program directly, thus it is not necessary to work in a different CAD program and import the data to RFEM for a static calculation consequently. The basic program also offers a possibility to define member and support non-linearities as well as eccentric connections or elastic foundations. |

| Analysis In RFEM 4, the calculation can be carried out optionally according to the 1st or 2nd order theory or according to the large deformation analysis (Newton-Raphson) for all surface and member types. Results of individual load cases can be superimposed within load combinations to determine decisive values for a structrural design. The new version of RFEM uses a completely new equation solver that enables to utilize multi-core processors and deals with memory efficiently. This accelerates the calculation especially in case of complex and extensive structures with many load cases. |

| Results and Printout Report Results can be displayed in RFEM in a number of ways. Numeric results are presented in synoptic tables, arranged according to different criteria, in the bottom part of the screen. Graphic results are viewed directly on the 3D model and are linked to results in tables. Different options to filter the results can reduce the number of displayed table lines and thus improve the overview. For more complex structures, it is possible to display the results only on a selected model part. The printout report is generated automatically and can be completed with screen graphic. |

| Project Manager RFEM 4 includes a project manager that enables to display all projects and cases synoptically, thus they can be accessed for all available actions. Individual cases can be easily moved and copied among different projects using the Drag & drop mouse operation. Graphic previews are used to find a certain case quickly. Within this project manager, the cases and projects can be archived. It represents the management center for all Dlubal projects. |

| Integration of RFEM and Revit Structure New RFEM enables easy two-way transition between the architectural and static model. |

||
| Data Exchange The data exchange among programs becomes more and more important. RFEM 4 offers a variety of interfaces for import or export of structural data to external programs. Time is saved and the risk of errors is reduced. Using the RF-COM interface a direct interconnection of programs is provided. |

| Snap Layers Structural modeling can be considerably accelerated by usage of snap layers, that can be underlaid as a referential drawing and you can use the grab function to create the structural model. |
