Several Years of Contentment with RFEM

“I've been using RFEM since Version 2 and in these 12 years I have seen a constant evolution of products, fortunately not linked to commercial logic. The graphical interface is very user friendly and the software capabilities are very high, allowing accurate modeling of very complex models relatively quickly. Printout report generation and import / export options are excellent. The technical support is definitely a strong point and provides answers to problems in a short time.”
