Continuous planning with RSTAB and RFEM

From 1 July 2012, the use of Eurocodes for structural analysis will be mandatory. Take advantage of the framework program RSTAB and the FEA program RFEM to ensure a seamless planning process for designing 1D, 2D or 3D structures according to Eurocode. The entire planning can be performed consistently according to the relevant European codes, from the automatic generation of load groups and combinations to structural calculations, from the generation of wind and snow loads to dynamic analysis. Depending on the programs selected for the software package you can design any kind of structure, whether it consists of steel, reinforced concrete, timber or a mixture of materials.


Basics (EC 0) RSCOMBI/RF-COMBI The add-on modules RSCOMBI and RF-COMBI allow for the generation of load groups and combinations including imperfections according to EN 1990 (Eurocode 0). The actions are assigned to the action categories described in the standard. According to the selected design situation (static equilibrium, bearing capacity, serviceability) RSCOMBI and RF-COMBI combine the load cases. The number of load groups to be generated can be reduced automatically by means of an extreme value analysis performed previous to the calculation. More information about RSCOMBI More informaton about RF-COMBI The following National Annexes are available: DIN EN 1990 /NA: 2009-05 (Germany) BS EN 1990 /NA: 2004-12 (United Kingdom) CSN EN 1990 /NA: 2004-03 (Czech Republic) DK EN 1990/NA: 2007-07 (Denmark) NEN EN 1990/NA: 2006 (Netherlands) ÖNORM EN 1990 :2007-02 (Austria) SS EN 1990 /NA: 2008 (Singapore) SFS EN 1990 /NA: 2005 (Finland) SIST EN 1990 :2005/A101 (Slovenia) STN EN 1990 /NA1: 2009-08 (Slovakia) UNI EN 1990 /NA:2007-07 (Italy)


Actions (EC 1) RSTAB/RFEM RSTAB and RFEM provide an option to generate wind and snow loads. No additional module is needed for the generation. When the required parameters like wind and snow load zone, terrain category, topography type or roof geometry are entered, the program creates the respective loading automatically.

Design of Concrete Structures (EC 2) EC 2 for RSTAB/RFEM is a program extension of the add-on modules CONCRETE and CONCRETE Columns, RF-CONCRETE (RF-CONCRETE Surfaces and RF-CONCRETE Members), RF-CONCRETE Columns and RF-PUNCH for reinforced concrete design according to Eurocode 2 including integrated National Annexes (NAs). In addition to the general ultimate and serviceability limit state design, it is possible to perform a stability analysis for columns according to EC 2. Fire protection designs according to Eurocode can be carried out additionally for columns and members.
