Structural FEA engineering software RFEM allows easy and effective modeling as well as structural analysis and design of general 2D and 3D structures consisting of member, plate, wall, shell, solid, and contact elements.
Structural frame analysis software RSTAB contains a similar range of functions as RFEM, with special attention to beam, frame, or truss structures. Therefore, it is very easy to use and for many years it has been the best choice for structural frame analysis.
Dlubal Software supports students by providing them with the structural analysis software for free during their studies at a university, college, or institute of technology. Many students have already seized the opportunity to benefit from this support.

A remarkable free‑form roof structure was built at the Xujiahui Commercial Center in Shanghai, China, and inaugurated in June 2017.
It serves as a skylight in the indoor area of the shopping center, and as a canopy in the outdoor area.
In September 2017, the Design Building at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst was completed.
The $52 million project is one of the largest timber structures in the USA and one of the largest wood-concrete composite projects in the world.
The look-out tower in the Giant Mountains (Czech: Krkonoše) offers a breathtaking view over the Krkonoše National Park at a height of 43 m.
It has the shape of a truncated cone that opens out upwards.
A kindergarten, designed according to Building Information Modeling (BIM), is currently under construction in the Tyrolean municipality of Schwoich.
The digital 3D model accompanies the construction project from design until completion.
A unique project called "Oxigeno" is currently under construction in San Francisco de Heredia, San José, Costa Rica. The recreational and commercial space, which measures almost 125,000 m², offers the visitor a relaxing shopping atmosphere in harmony with nature.
The bridge construction of Isarsteg as integrating artwork fits perfectly into the surrounding landscape. Taking nature as an example, the bridge overspans the Isar river like a branched limb.
The new awning for the filling station of GULFIN Cameroun in Douala, an oil company, is a particular structure with eccentric columns and non-symmetric cantilevered 6.5 m long beams.
The theatre built from 1911 to 1913 has a varied history.

“The webinar was a good presentation that showed the capabilities of your software. I am very impressed with the speaker's time management. To ensure the webinar is within an hour requires a talented professional engineer, preparation and knowledge of the material. This webinar reinforces the value and efficiency of RFEM along with the many add‑on modules.”
If it is about non-standardized joints or taking a closer look at the joint and its behavior, it is recommended to use the modeling as surface model. The following article will show how such a model is generated in principle.
The story drift of a building provides valuable information about its structural behavior under seismic loads. These could cause large horizontal deformations and even instabilities.
RFEM offers the option to perform a response spectrum analysis according to ASCE 7-16. This standard describes the determination of seismic loads for the US-American market.
Influence lines have become less important nowadays due to the fast computer systems. However, it might be an advantage to use influence lines in the phase of preliminary design, but also in the actual creation of the structural designs.
With RF-/CONCRETE Columns, it is possible to determine effective lengths for columns automatically.
With the function "Generate Model - Members" → "3D Cell", it is very easy to generate containers (shipping containers, office containers, mobile homes, etc.) with regular and irregular distribution of the cells.
The design of a torsional loaded beam according to AISC Design Guide 9 will be shown based on a verification example.
From time to time it happens that two intersecting beams overlap at a short distance.
In SHAPE-THIN, it is possible to perform the calculation of stiffened buckling panels according to Section 4.5 of EN 1993-1-5.
