New Programs for Cold-Formed Sections
SHAPE-THIN 9 | RF-/STEEL Cold-Formed Sections
The SHAPE‑THIN 9 stand-alone program and the RF‑/STEEL Cold‑Formed Sections add-on module allow you to design general cold-formed sections.
New Program: RWIND Simulation
Wind Simulation (Digital Wind Tunnel) & Wind Load Generation for RFEM or RSTAB
RWIND Simulation is a stand-alone program for numerical simulations of wind flow around structures of any shape.
RFEM
RFEMStructural 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.
RSTAB
RSTABStructural 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.
For Students
Structural Analysis Software for Students for Free
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.

One of the Best Solutions
"Thank you for one of the best solutions. I quickly understood the basics using RX-TIMBER.
Hope in future I will buy short term licenses according to the requests from my job."
Marius Palisaitis
Powerful and Intuitive
"I really enjoy watching the webinars you showcase on YouTube. They helped me to convince my client to recently purchase RFEM. They provide a wealth of information.
I really enjoy using RFEM. I've used many analysis softwares in my career but never have I come across a software as powerful and intuitive as RFEM. Thanks for re-sparking a new passion for me.
In just a few weeks, I've been able to use RFEM to analyse some amazing structures, from small to big. I don't understand why everyone is not using Dlubal? It's given my client the edge in this competitive environment.
Keep up the great work."

We Have Fun Working with RFEM Every Day!
"We are an engineering office specialized in concrete and metal structures. We have decided to purchase the RFEM software to calculate structures and mechanical components.
For more than a year, it has been a daily pleasure to work with this tool! The support team is attentive with specialist knowledge while the software is intuitive, efficient and extremely comprehensive. Well done!"

Intuitive and quick, recommended!
"I used this software for my master's thesis and I could handle it very well. It is intuitive and quick to learn; excellent results can be achieved immediately. The only thing I did not like was that I did not have a Mac version, but I hope that it will be available soon. Apart from that it works fine. I can recommend it!"
