Direct Dlubal Interface with SEMA Timber Program

Now, RFEM and RSTAB provide powerful interfaces with SEMA's software for timber construction and joining. A model created in SEMA can be imported to Dlubal in DXF or DSTV (STP) file format. With the DSTV format not only the structure geometry is transferred, but also information about cross-sections, materials, supports or rigid couplings.

Dlubal Participating in Research Project for Eurocode 5

The calculation of monopitch and duopitch roof beams with a straight or curved bottom chord as well as curved beams is based on similar principles according to both standards DIN EN 1995-1-1:2011 (EC 5) and DIN 1052:2008. However, the limit value for the cut-to-grain angle according to DIN 1052:2008 is 10° and the angle of roof inclination in the ridge zone of duopitch roof beams with a curved bottom chord is restricted to 20°. The Eurocode does not specify any limitation for the cut-to-grain angle or the angle of roof inclination.

Nova interface com o Bentley ProStructure baseado na tecnologia ISM

Dlubal and Bentley have developed a new version of the interface, following the trend of BIM (building information modeling) with its advanced options to exchange data. This new interface was officially presented at the Bentley user meeting which took place in Friedrichroda (near Erfurt/Germany).

Design of Steel Constructions According to Eurocode and International Standards

The new add-on module STEEL CS completes the Dlubal product range of program modules for steel design according to international standards by the Canadian Standard for steel construction CS S16-09. Its functionality is similar to Dlubal's other steel modules calculating according to international standards. The following programs are already available:
  • STEEL EC3 (Eurocode)
  • STEEL AISC (US standard)
  • STEEL SIA (Swiss standard)
  • STEEL IS (Indian standard)
  • STEEL BS (British standard)
  • STEEL GB (Chinese standard)
  • Thus, the Dlubal company lives up to its claims to provide customers with a wide choice of important international standards for steel construction.

    Lattice Tower Design with Eurocode

    With the new add-on modules TOWER Effective Lengths and TOWER Design, DLUBAL software makes it possible to determine buckling lengths of members used in lattice towers and to design lattice tower structures according to Eurocode. Any system can be designed, whether it was created in the main programs RSTAB and RFEM or with the help of the add-on modules TOWER Structure, TOWER Equipment and TOWER Loading. Now, a continuous planning of lattice towers can be performed with DLUBAL products.

    Reinforced Concrete Design acc. to Eurocode and International Standards

    In addition to the design of reinforced concrete structures according to the European Standard EN 1992-1-1:2004 (EC 2), engineers can use the Dlubal programs RSTAB and RFEM to design structural systems according to the Swiss and American Standards SIA 262 and ACI 318-11. Together with the relevant add-on modules you can design members and columns in both main programs. The RFEM add-on module RF-CONCRETE additionally allows you to analyze plates, walls, planar structures and shells. Furthermore, RSTAB and RFEM offer you the possibility to perform a deformation analysis for cracked reinforced concrete (state II).

    Prestressed Concrete Design acc. to Eurocode 2 with RFEM

    With the RFEM add-on modules RF-TENDON and RF-TENDON Design we can now offer you two programs used to calculate prestressed concrete members with bonded post-tensioned concrete according to EN 1992-1-1 (concrete constructions) and EN 1992-2 (concrete bridges). RF-TENDON is the add-on module required to define tendons. With RF-TENDON Design you perform the prestressed concrete design according to Eurocode 2 on the basis of the results calculated with RFEM and RF-TENDON.

    DLUBAL encountered great visitor interest at the BATIMAT in Paris

    The BATIMAT trade fair is the largest trade fair in France and one of the leading construction fairs worldwide. It takes place every two years in Paris. From November 7th to 12th 2011 Dlubal Engineering Software was exhibiting for the first time. Visitors saw the programs RSTAB, RFEM and RX-TIMBER in live presentations. The Dlubal team encountered great interest among the BATIMAT audience and made new contacts with engineering offices and authorities. A wide international public was attracted by the Dlubal stand and followed detailed software presentations. Visitors interested in Dlubal products were mainly active in steel, concrete and timber construction.

    Dlubal Engineering Software in the Netherlands

    Since 2010 Dlubal software users in the Netherlands can count on additional customer support in their country. RFEM Nederland whose managing director is Emiel Peltenburg is the official distributor for Dlubal products in the Netherlands. Being an experienced engineering expert Emiel Peltenburg became a trusted partner of the Dlubal company. Since that time, the interest in Dlubal programs for structural and dynamic analysis has grown steadily. Dlubal software stands out with its user friendliness, stability, professional customer support at fair prices and its open program architecture. This year RFEM Nederland presented the advantages of Dlubal programs at several events.
