RWIND Simulation is a stand-alone program for numerical simulations of wind flow around structures of any shape.
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.
Witteveen+Bos performed a seismic analysis on an existing concrete foundation with piers located in the Netherlands. The connected steel pipe rack and piping system were also included in the analysis.
The Landslide Hotel is located near the Rotterdam Airport. The multi-story reinforced concrete structure was designed by the engineering office Van Numen from Rosmalen, The Netherlands, and the structural analysis was performed utilizing RFEM.
A timber roof structure was recently constructed over an existing amphitheater in Jelgava, Latvia. The project located on Pasta Island serves as a multi-functional building for recreational, cultural and social activities.
In June 2018, a new and unique lookout tower by the world-famous architect Martin Rajniš was opened in the Prague municipal district Kyje. When designing the tower, maximum emphasis was placed on natural and renewable material use.
For a project in Rotterdam, ADS Ertner used IDEA CONNECTION to analyze a structural steel connection. This program calculates steel connections utilizing the CBFEM method where each thin-walled cross-section is modeled with nonlinear material properties, nonlinear bolts, and nonlinear welds.
Following remodeling, the TD Place Stadium in Canada’s capital Ottawa can hold up to 24,000 visitors. The sports complex is located at Lansdowne Park and is primarily used for Canadian football and soccer.
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.
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.
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.

“I’ve used many FEA programs over the years and I would rank RFEM at the top. Very powerful with many options for modeling and displaying information while still being intuitive and easy to use from a common sense standpoint. In my opinion, RFEM is in a class of its own.”
The Landslide Hotel is located near the Rotterdam Airport. The multi-story reinforced concrete structure was designed by the engineering office Van Numen from Rosmalen, The Netherlands, and the structural analysis was performed utilizing RFEM.
In June 2018, a new unique lookout tower by the world-famous architect Martin Rajniš was opened in the Prague municipal district Kyje. When designing the lookout tower, the maximum emphasis was put on the use of natural, easily renewable materials.
A timber roof structure was recently constructed over an existing amphitheater in Jelgava, Latvia. The project located on Pasta Island serves as a multi-functional building for recreational, cultural and social activities.
Using the RF-TIMBER AWC module, timber beam design is possible according to the 2018 NDS standard ASD method. The following article will verify the maximum critical buckling in RF-TIMBER AWC using step-by-step analytical equations per the NDS 2018 standard.
