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.
St. Elias Church is designed in the architectural style known as “Boyko”, from the western part of Ukraine.
This distinctive style features iconic copper clad domes, 76 feet high at their peaks and visible from a great distance around the church.
In 2016, NEDCON got the assignment to install the steelwork for two fully automated distribution centers for two supermarket companies.
One distribution center is located in the US state of Michigan and the other distribution center in the Canadian province of Alberta.
Aquamate, a leading manufacturer of corrugated water tanks in Australia, plans to enter the North American market by the end of 2016.
Therefore, it is necessary to verify that the tanks meet all US codes and standards before the end of the year.
An architectural highlight of the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts is the glass atrium.
The glass facade and the glass skylight are supported entirely by the cable structure. The design was conceived as a cello’s strings fanning over a bridge and fret-board.
Brock Commons is a student residence currently under construction at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada.
The mass timber hybrid structure comprises of five‑ply cross laminated timber (CLT) floor panels, a concrete transfer slab, and a steel framed roof.
The New Candlewood Suites on Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama, is the first cross‑laminated timber (CLT) hotel constructed in the US.
This four story building, made of 56,700 ft3 of CLT and 1,200 ft3 of glulam material, serves the lodging needs of the Redstone Arsenal Army post.
The monastery "Little Flower" was built in 2015, situated in beautiful scenery of green meadows, mountains and crystal-clear lakes.
The little monastery includes 18 bedrooms, a chapel, a dining room, a kitchen, and a conference room.
Four different point-supported glass chandeliers are focal points of the newly renovated shopping mall at Keystone, Indianapolis, USA.
Each chandelier consists of hanging glass plates, which are point-supported from brackets on stainless steel rings.
The S‑shaped pedestrian and cycling bridge across the Neckar river in Germany, has a total length of 316 ft and a width of 10 ft.
Both foreland areas are bent in the ground plan and have a radius of approximately 214 ft.
In the new terminal of the international airport Oslo-Gardermoen, five pavilions have been built to provide a space for duty‑free shops and restaurants.

“After using about four other major analysis programs, I am extremely pleased by the subtle features of RFEM for its flexibility in modeling, interoperability, ease of analysis, error reporting and also in interpreting the results.
Added to this is the excellent support that is beyond expectation.”
Heat loss due to external components without thermal decoupling of the internal components is enormous. For this reason, external structural components are thermally separated from the building envelope.
In the new terminal of the international airport Oslo-Gardermoen, five pavilions have been built to provide a space for duty‑free shops and restaurants.
Four new verification examples have been added. The verification examples 0076 and 0077 deal with thermal loading and the verification examples 0111 and 0115 provide a solution to the natural vibration issues.
The advantages of aluminum are evident: In spite of its high strength, it is relatively light and more resistant to corrosion than steel.
Composite beams in a 3D analysis are usually connected with orthotropic plates. This article explains the determination of stiffnesses in the orthotropic plate.
Structural engineers are often faced with complex tasks. Then they are glad if a reliable source of information is available. Dlubal Software provides a comprehensive knowledge database on its website, available to everyone.
In addition to the reinforced concrete design according to EN 1992‑1‑1, RF‑/FOUNDATION Pro allows you to perform geotechnical designs according to EN 1997‑1.
The fourth part of the article series about the COM interface explains creating individual tools.
