Customer Reviews
Here you can find a feedback from the users who works with the Dlubal structural analysis software.
I have been using RFEM 6 to design steel in Italy and abroad for a few years now and it has become irreplaceable! Geometric modeling, always quick and precise, is made easy and fun by internal tools (such as CAD). Any type of structure from the simplest ones (beam elements) to the most complex geometries with shell elements are modeled with ease; BIM is excellent with other software. Editing is also simple and in case of changes and revisions to the project it takes a moment to implement them. It is a simple multi-regulation software, flexible in use, clear, complete with every type of structural analysis, both static and dynamic, precise and reliable. In my opinion it excels in the non-linearities present both in input and in the management of non-linear calculation, the quality of the meshing is excellent. The post processing is very complete and the results are always clear, usable and simple to consult and interpret. He always leaves me free in my design choices and assists me in each one. Comparing myself with colleagues who use other software, frankly it is impossible to find better. It simply does things that other software doesn't do and it does them in a simple way. The assistance from Team Italia has always been up to par and has also improved a lot over the years with continuous growth. Thanks and congratulations!
In retrospect, I would like to thank you for the invitation to digitalBAU in Cologne. It has been an experience and at the same time impressive for me, what has recently happened in the digital sector in construction and the related fields.
The visit and the very pleasant and detailed technical discussion with your colleagues at your booth have confirmed my opinion that your programs in the field of construction and structural engineering are excellent. Ich war und bin ja ein Fan von Ihren bedienfreundlichen Programmen und wünsche der Fa. Dlubal für die Zukunft alles Gute.
Excellent software, very powerful, and intuitive.
I would like to thank you for the opportunity to try out RFEM 6. The program is very user-friendly for me, and if I have encountered a problem, it always helped me to watch the tutorial video, study the online manual, or finally contact your online support, where they were happy to assist me. I was very pleased that many parameters are predefined, but can be customized. That's the reason why I consider the program to be very flexible.
I would like to mention that I'm excited about how much information and webinars you share. Since I've been on maternity leave for several years, when I have not had many opportunities to stay up to date with the latest developments, your website is an inexpensive source of information for me.
Professional and reliable finite element modeling and analysis programs, with rather intuitive work interfaces. Interoperability with other 3D modeling software also allows for using them in academics and for university research. Excellent training service and technical support.
After a six-month trial, I've decided to switch to Dlubal RFEM because of its superior ability to model structures and their behavior as close to reality as possible, compared to the other models used: effective eccentricities, linear or nonlinear supports and hinges, various member sections, steel connection configurator with a wide range of options, and so on.
Moreover, the interface is user-friendly and intuitive, so it's easy to understand the functions without having to refer to the documentation.
Result filters allow for a quick interpretation of the calculations, while setting up and editing the calculation notes is quick and easy.
A significant advantage is a wide range of resources on the Dlubal website as well as on Youtube.
Last but not least, the sales and technical service are always ready to answer your questions. The main points of the comparison are excellent. I'm thus convinced of my choice.
After analyzing the options on the market, we have chosen RFEM by Dlubal for the calculation of our timber/steel structures, because it is the software that allows the most efficient 3D modeling for these types of complex models.
We appreciated the help of Dlubal's customer service, which was able to guide us in order to model all the technical optimizations. We witnessed the responsiveness and technicality of the Dlubal customer service, which we were able to discuss very specific points with.
We have experimented with the fact that the software does all the Eurocode design checks and yet remains very flexible to the requirements of the project.
We highly recommend the RFEM 6 software!
RFEM is impressive software that combines power and clarity. It can calculate all types of structures, still providing an extremely intuitive interface. We appreciate the program utilization in our work as structural timber engineers.
We use it mainly to perform structural analysis and design of frame and truss structures made of timber and steel, as well as CLT panels, and composite timber-concrete floor slabs.
The interface of RFEM 6 is much more intuitive to me than the interface of RFEM 5. The structure of tables is also well-arranged, so my work with RFEM 6 is more straightforward and clear.
I would like to thank you for your work. All speakers prepare very carefully for the webinars and present the information in a thorough and accessible manner. I enjoy watching and learning from your webinars.
RSTAB is a very powerful calculation software, as it allows the designer to model any type of structure in a very academic and scrupulous way, with the simplicity and practicality that is needed in the profession. It's easy to obtain an analysis model very close to reality without many input difficulties.
The exhaustive range of functions provided by the RFEM 6 software, which we have recently purchased, allows for precise study of current issues, such as the interface between materials, complex bracing systems, or the vibration behavior of floors. The training provided by the technical service allowed for a quick and efficient introduction to the software.
My clients are blown away by the comprehensive design and nice looking calculation package for our modular building systems.
Of course, I would not be able to do this without Dlubal software, your team's expertise and excellent customer service. Thank you so much to the Dlubal team.
Was an excellent Webinar "2018 NDS CLT Design in RFEM 6 (USA)"! Thank you.
You are making great improvements to the Dlubal software RFEM, the Add-ons, codes, etc. It is great to see how Dlubal has become an outstanding software for structural engineers. I particularly love to see that tensile membrane structures can also be modeled with Dlubal. Kudos!
Such good support (with video) is not a matter of course, which is why I would like to express my gratitude for it. The workaround works wonderfully.
I would like to thank you and your colleagues for yesterday's webinar. It was again a Champions League level.
We are very impressed by the work Dlubal puts into developing RFEM and responding to issues. It’s a great software package and you’re constantly making it better and better. RFEM is by far our favorite analysis software at the moment, so thank you for the work you put into this!
We use Dlubal programs for calculations for the customers who ask us for structural analysis services, especially for steel structures of plants. Employees in our office are happy with our investment in your technology
Thank you very much for the great integration of warping torsion into the general RFEM 6 analysis.
Unfortunately, I didn't have the opportunity to follow the "Stability Analysis and Torsional Warping (7 DOF) in RFEM 6" live webinar, but due to your recording, which I've watched, I am very excited about the current possibilities of RFEM 6.
I was particularly impressed by the speaker! Please pass on my compliments to him for his calm demeanor and the background knowledge provided of the subject of the webinar, which was not that simple. This video is appropriate to supplement the corresponding lecture contents about warping torsion and stability analyses in steel construction, so that students can also compare the 'black box system' (now it's more transparent) with manual calculations using simplified flange bending or the equivalent member method.
It has always been important to me that students recognize when they have to consider warping torsion and how they can estimate its effect. Also, the correlation between a stability analysis on the entire structure and the design's possible traceability on the equivalent member by the effective lengths of the governing eigenvalue was described excellently in the presentation!
We adopted Dlubal in our work and haven't looked back. Powerful, easy to use, easy to learn, with mercifully simple output (once set up).
Whether you require nonlinear time history analysis for machine-induced vibrations, cable and FEA shell analysis, form-finding, BIM and BIM Connector, or RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9, if you want to succeed, you need to use Dlubal Software!
I have to say, I would never have expected such a detailed answer, clearly and friendly explained.
I really like to use your programs and am impressed by their options and design. The fact that you put so much effort into a student request is one more argument to use Dlubal Software.
Dlubal Software is a software that is widely used in the German construction industry. Many architects and engineers have utilized and worked with this softeare during their studies.
Dlubal offers an extensive range of basic finite element modules for facade structures that can cover the conventional analysis of members, surfaces, and solids, as well as functions that can be used to improve output efficiency.
However, the core is the RWIND Simulation program, which can combine the numerical wind tunnel with finite element calculations, significantly improving the efficiency and economy of the exterior wall design. In addition, Dlubal offers solutions for form-finding, cutting patterns, and prestressed cable systems for membrane structures, which are not included in most FEM programs. In general, I highly recommend Dlubal Software's programs.
CRANEWAY is very well done and allows you to speed up also rather complicated craneway designs according to Eurocodes, especially in the part related to fatigue. In some cases, its use was indispensable in overcoming difficult situations with foreign customers. The feedback from Dlubal Software, both commercial and technical, has always been fast and accurate.
The basic training for RFEM was very extensive and technically useful for what was proposed, and last but not least, it was not boring at all, so I would like to thank you.
Excellent product ... even if it is a requirement of some designers, this is one of the few programs on the market able to perform the verification of aluminum sections. Customer support is at the top and always prepared. I recommend this program!
- Division into two parts: Theory and basics, practical examples.
- Very good practical examples.
- After the training, I am able to use the different design methods according to Eurocode 3 in my calculations.
- The design methods were shown with simple examples and then we went to the more complex cases. Differences between the methods were explained and the methods were compared. In this way, it is easy to recognize immediately the limits of application and the design options.
- The tests during the presentation.
I would just like to send a quick note to wish everyone at Dlubal well, in particular I would like to say thank you for the fantastic, thorough and professional support you provide.
Overall I am super content with RFEM and how the product development is. Also with the webinars, how your communication is and so on.
Keep up the goods!
What an excellent and fast support.
I would like to thank all Dlubal employees. The software is very well programmed and the support, especially with the webinars, is also very good and helps to familiarize with new applications. This combination of the very good product and free, targeted support by very well-structured webinars is, in my opinion, the main reason for your success.
I hope it will continue this way! Congratulations to all developers and thank you to the management and all employees for this great product and concept.
I was able to complete the calculation of my building in the best possible way and would like to thank you very much for the support that you have given me on a big scale. I think your software and the quite easy way to enter model data, and the entire user-friendly interface of the software, in general, is very good, but without your valuable advice, I could not have solved the various problems I faced.
The webinar "Design Cold-Formed Steel Sections According to EC3" was great. It was my first webinar and I would like to follow more in the future. Especially for new users/students like me and if too fast, it is very good that it is recorded and you can watch it again. I also like the fact that I was able to follow the webinar free of charge because students would rather not attend a paid webinar.
Thank you for the webinar "Design Cold-Formed Steel Sections According to Eurocode 3." I really liked it. The webinar recordings are a real plus point. Keep it up!
Thank you for this brilliant webinar. Very well structured and very easy to understand. The others have to compete against you.
As part of my course in civil engineering and building architecture (mechanics of structures with glass elements and tensile structures), I sponsor a large part of your software, which I think is really great!
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.
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.
Thank you for the prompt and very fast support, it was crucial for my work being under time pressure; excellent customer service. Really, thank you very much!
Another very successful webinar, this time on the topic of laminate design.
I have watched the webinar recording "Design of Cross-laminated Timber Panels (CLT) According to Eurocode 5" on YouTube and I am impressed by about the program and the very good presentation.
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. Kudos!
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!
The webinar about RWIND Simulation was very successful!
From now on, it is possible to analyze wind forces on geometries of objects that are not regulated in the standard. The wind force assumption according to the standard was often a more or less good estimate.
Great praise to the hotline, which is really outstanding. I don't know anybody who is as easy to reach and provides such help.
RWIND Simulation - absolutely brilliant!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Your webinar on RWIND Simulation was very impressive. Like the speakers at the info days, the speaker confidently described the performance of the new program.
I am pleased to be a customer of such an innovative software developer that does not rest on its laurels, but constantly provides users with new tools to make working even more pleasant and efficient.
Keep it up!
I really enjoyed the webinar. It was so well designed and organized that I sometimes forgot the presentation was live.
I am a student and started using the program a few weeks ago. This webinar was my first webinar. If I were a professional Dlubal user, I would probably have had questions straight away. Instead I just had a look and I am very excited about the capabilities of the software.
Many thanks for yesterday's Dlubal Info Day which was perfectly planned and held by very well-trained staff.
RFEM is a reliable partner for my daily tasks in building construction, just great!
RSTAB is a software program that I recently discovered and which is very helpful for the calculation of steel structures. With the available webinars on the Dlubal website, I have familiarized myself with the various functions of the program. With the free student license, I can familiarize myself with the software and use it during my studies. I especially recommend it to civil engineering students.
I am amazed and grateful for Dlubal's customer service. It’s fast and one of the reason why I recommend your software to other structural engineers.
The RFEM add-on module RF-STABILITY is a perfect combination with RWIND Simulation. Using RF-STABILITY, I can perform a buckling analysis to get accurate effective lengths. Using RWIND Simulation, I can get accurate wind loads. For unusually shaped structures, it would be a wild guess if calculating wind loads from the standard code... either not conservative or too conservative. My client is happy with the results and impressed!
We really appreciate the prompt replies and personalized approach we receive from Dlubal. It makes the transition to RFEM an easy and positive experience for all involved!
RFEM is everything I expected and more. I’m having a blast learning the software and the webinars are fantastic.
Dlubal Software is amazing. I invest heavily in software for my structural engineering consulting business. I have used many programs out there but there is nothing like Dlubal. It is an amazing FEA design program that I now feel other software looks primitive. I really enjoy using it for my projects and their customer service is top notch.
Thank you very much for the interesting lecture for the bachelor students and the support for our master students. It facilitates the first steps and the efficient working with your software!
The joint discussions about the correct computer modelling helped the students to see how complex the tasks are and how important it is to model structures correctly.
As an RFEM user, I am very satisfied with the software, its application and its computing capacities. In addition, the technical support responds quickly and precisely to our questions.
I think the stand-alone program CRANEWAY is very good and useful. I do the same designs with calculation tables that I have set, but the software optimizes the process.
I would like to thank the Dlubal team for the technical support. We appreciate the precise and quick answers.
The installation of Dlubal programs is very easy and has good support. We are very satisfied with the technical support that answers our questions quickly.
The program interface is clearly arranged and user-friendly: You quickly learn how to work with the Dlubal Software programs and the interface contains useful features. The calculation kernel is powerful.
Last but not least, we particularly appreciate the interfaces to other software, the import and export options, as well as the attention paid to customers.
I appreciate the exceptional performance and versatility of the software as well as its continuous development.
In November 2018, I purchased RFEM with timber and steel add-on modules.
I'm very satisfied with this purchase: The software is easy to use and the support team is very responsive.
“The engineering office specializing in timber construction, Artemis Ingénieur, chose RFEM as its structural analysis software. The software is powerful, comprehensive and cleary arranged after having familiarized with it. Technical support is available and helps with learning, regardless of the level of the user. Numerous tutorials are also available on the website.
We quickly learned the functions which speaks in favor of the well-designed and efficient software.
Thank you for your time. The demo was really excellent, accurate, detailed and very clear (even if it was a very special topic). I also thank you for pointing out the examples and webinars: They will be very helpful when getting started with such a comprehensive analysis software.
For some years now, I have been introducing RFEM into my daily design practice. From the first approach I found the software intuitive, flexible, complete (truly complete!).
I think its modular structure is useful. The online support (via webinar, training videos, etc.) and the help/support offered almost in real time by competent, helpful and friendly staff are commendable. This is software that I can recommend as well as the customer support.
For almost a year I have been trying to develop a type of intervention for the seismic improvement of simple reinforced concrete buildings built in the 60s/70s, with the addition of bracing and dissipative elements.
I tried to design these elements with the RFEM trial version and was thrilled by the simplicity and the calculation's completeness. According to what I have found, it is possible to use RFEM to create very complex structures while maintaining excellent reliability due to a very strict and transparent inner structure.
I was at your Dlubal seminar for the first time and learned a lot of new things. I really liked the example of dynamic calculations in the RF-DYNAM Pro add-on module and the detailed modeling of the connection using the finite element method.
I consider the RFEM program from Dlubal Software to be probably the best on the market. In my future job selection, I will take into account what software the potential employer uses.
Dlubal’s licence and technical support are a substantial reason for RFEM as my primary of general purpose FEA software. Definitely a contributing factor in our purchases of add-on software as well as in our options of software for potential new hires.
The Dlubal webinars featuring RFEM are always well prepared, informative and to-the-point.
It turns out that RFEM is one of the best software for dynamics and nonlinear problems - significantly more user-friendly than competing programs, and students are quick to navigate and understand what counts. As a positive experience I would like to mention a user-friendly preprocessor, where structures are modeled almost as comfortably as in CAD, very well designed 3D modeling including fast calculation.
In my dissertation thesis I simulated the behavior of a concrete cross-section with composite reinforcement during collapse in RFEM and RSTAB. Compared to the experiment, the results of the nonlinear calculation differ in the order of units, while the linear calculation differs in the order of tens of percent. The speed of both calculations in Dlubal Software is in seconds, unlike competing programs.
RFEM is a very intuitive program that allows us to quickly design steel, concrete, and timber structures, whether they are simple or complex.
The technical support team is very quick to respond and professional.
ACS Production chose RFEM in order to have a versatile software that allows us to design our tensile membranes alongside our steel, timber, or aluminum structures in a single user environment.
The software’s capabilities and user-friendly interface are a real advantage over the competition. What’s more, the customer support’s dedication, modernness, responsiveness, and skillset ensure that each and every one of our projects is properly realized.
“After having a chance to dig into the RFEM Evaluation Version (with full features), I find it to be very easy to learn and fun to work with. My assessment is based on my 30-year-plus experience with other FEA software such as NASTRAN, ANSYS, COSMOS, SolidWorks Simulation.
RFEM GUI, in my opinion, is very user-friendly, effective, and logical. There are many user-definable options available in feature-based construction toolbox that allow great flexibility in the design and analysis processes. What makes RFEM a nice FEA package for architecture structural analysis and design is its rich collection pre-defined structural members (elements) and material library that would save users a lot of time in the model construction process. The computation phase (calculation) is pleasantly fast. The post-processing phase (results) offers a wide range of useful information that can be easily selected, organized, and displayed with great clarity. What also impressed me quite a bit is the availability of documentation such as user manuals and tutorials as well as a large collection helpful online videos (free access!) to help you along the way.
On top of that, my experience with in-person customer service has left me with the impression that the developer (Dlubal) is a well-run company. They were very helpful to me even when I wasn’t even a paying customer! So, yes, I highly recommend RFEM to engineers, students, and researchers alike simply because it’s really a good investment.”
Excellent customer service, thank you.
The more I use the Dlubal program, the more I am convinced that it is a really great program! And I must say that I have worked with many programs such as Straus, Sap2000, Etabs, not to mention several excellent lower level applications in terms of analysis and results.
Dlubal Software offers a graphical interface and numerous options which are very varied and complete.
"Congratulations on your technical-professional preparation and organization."
“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.”
“RFEM solved nonlinearity problems in one of my big models. I am really very satisfied with the software as it meets the expectations on complex modeling.
Congratulations to Dlubal Software for RFEM!”
“I discovered the software thanks to my friend so then I got in contact with customer service. I was amazed by the graphical user interface and the result output. The finite element method in RFEM allows for very coherent and precise mesh.
As a director of an engineering company and a structural engineering consultant, I am very happy to opt for RFEM. Hats off to the technical support team for their fast and precise answers to my questions. ”
“Thank you for the opportunity to attend the today's webinar. Your presentation was very professional and therefore, I would like to express my warmest congratulations. Also, I would like to thank you for your answers to my questions.”
“The webinar was again a very successful and informative event.
I would like to thank you for all successful webinars. They are always very helpful and instructive, and the information is perfectly provided. I wish for more great webinars in the next year.”

Moreover, the technical support is always available to quickly answer all our questions, whether by e‑mail or phone, and even during the trial period. These are only some of the benefits of Dlubal Software. We recommend to try it. ”
“We have been using RFEM and the add‑on modules (RF‑STEEL Surfaces, RF‑STEEL EC3, RF‑ALUMINUM, and RF‑GLASS) for about 6 months to design façade elements of buildings.
We are very satisfied with this user-friendly and powerful software as well as with the availability, quality and efficiency of the technical support team. ”
“In my opinion, RFEM is a great software: the interface is user‑friendly and the results are clear.
Technical support is on top! The support team is efficient and patient. I’d like to thank to the technical support team, you make the work much easier for us! ”
“The program is very intuitive, especially when you are used to work in the Tekla software. The technical support team is very devoted and always available.
The direct import is extremely useful: I draw members in Tekla and import them directly in RFEM using the direct interface. ”
“After trying lots of software solutions and having pushed them to their limits, RFEM turns out to be the one that I am the most satisfied with. In particular, the mesh is extremely powerful, the navigation is simple, and the tools for result utilization are very sophisticated.
Moreover, the technical service is always listening and the online training is highly relevant. I also appreciate your effort to develop tools adapted to Canadian standards. Continue to do so! ”
”Your technical support is perfect. I wish the support in Brazil was the same as yours. Although I only have a student license, you always answer. Congratulations.”
“We really appreciate Dlubal Software solutions, especially the following points:
- The software is easy to learn, every bit of the interface is user‑friendly
- Ideal for structural analysis of steel structures according to Eurocode
- Option to implement your own designs (add‑on modules RS‑COM/RF‑COM)
- Pleasant and professional technical support team”
"I appreciate your professionalism, kindness and attention to the customer. These properties have been getting better since 2012."
“Our engineers from ETL Engineering Office are completely satisfied with Dlubal Software's quality of customer support. We particularly appreciate the availability and responsiveness of the technical support engineers. The advice from Dlubal engineers is always good, and the support team has always been eager to help us with our queries.
We keep discovering new possibilities of RFEM and I must say that we are very happy with the software performance. It allows us to resolve the challenges we face every day.”
"I started using the software for my master's thesis. It was my first experience with a finite element program, but I had no problem becoming confident with the main commands as the interface is very intuitive.
Further advantages are the possibility of being able to use the software for free for students (as in my case) and the possibility of requesting assistance via email."
I would like to thank you for the reliable and competent support always provided by your company!
“The seminar has convinced us largely of the software. The lecturers' expertise was first-class.”
I've been dealing with the software on my own, without training, just learning with the manual and leaning on the customer support to solve all my questions during the learning phase. Right the first time, I've found the program simple and intuitive compared to others (SAP2000, MasterSeries, Strauss, etc.) because I find the graphical interface user-friendly and because for the design part it reminds me, with certain differences, of AutoCAD.
As mentioned the software has the advantage of being simple and intuitive for me, but given the high amount of options I can certainly say not to use it now at 100% of its potential.
Customer support, which I believe is the most important part, is present and rapid, and several times I have had the opportunity to proactively confront myself to find solutions for a couple of problems. For wood it is definitely the most complete software that I have had the opportunity to use, so for those like me who work with XLam and wooden structures I would recommend it. Like any program it has its pros and cons, certainly including the slow implementation of features requested by users. RFEM is certainly an important investment but it pays off.
“RFEM is a powerful software which allows you to cope with increasingly complex normative guidelines. The ability to import data from Cadwork makes structural analysis more precise and faster. Many thanks to the excellent technical support by Dlubal Software.”
“I'm impressed by the promptness and competence of the Dlubal Software support team again and again.”
“The program, we can say, teaches us the use of the Eurocode. When setting parameters wherever there are links to specific points of the Eurocode, where a certain coefficient is specified, options for choosing one or another calculation option are given. The program has a very flexible system of setting coefficients in accordance with any national applications and, if necessary, presents intermediate results of the calculation. ”
Very practical software with graphics making the model management easy to handle. It is possible to personalize the management of the models.
Excellent technical support, both in terms of speed of response as well as completeness and clarity.
“Now, at the end of my professional activity, I would like to thank Dlubal Software for quick, competent, friendly and unbureaucratic support in all cases of problems. This feeling of security has been an essential part of our engineering work since the mid‑1990s.“
”Working with Dlubal Software programs is almost indescribable and makes us happy.“
"We are dealing with Structural and Seismic Engineering since 1998. Dlubal Software is, in our experience, the best structural modeling program on the market. We recommend it to all those who need to deal with special and daily cases."
The RFEM platform is the most efficient and friendly with which we have worked, the RF‑GLASS module is really unique in the market with which we can solve our projects in an integral way.
The technical support is incomparable, having immediate assistance from Germany to Costa Rica at the time required, despite the time difference, is a great proof of their professionalism and passion.
”I have been using Dlubal Software programs for a long time. The development of RFEM is very extensive, the program is simply brilliant!“
“I'm perfectly satisfied with Dlubal Software. If I have to force myself to start up my structural engineering software in the morning, then I know something's wrong.”
“We were looking for a structural FEA software capable of modeling tall structures made of cross‑laminated timber (CLT) in seismic areas. Since we have been convinced of Dlubal Software products for many years and we are satisfied users of RSTAB, choosing RFEM was an easy decision.
The RF‑LAMINATE and RF‑DYNAM Pro add‑on modules allowed us to precisely model and analyze our CLT structures.
The technical support team was also very helpful as they are always available and ready to answer our questions.
Therefore, we are very satisfied with our choice. ”
Modern environment, excellent software, trained staff.
“We were very careful when choosing an efficient solution for structural analysis based on finite element method. In 2013 we finally opted for RFEM.
After more than three years using this software, we are fully satisfied with our choice, particularly concerning technical capabilities and continuous development of the program. Technical support is attentive to our needs and comments.
We use RFEM especially to perform analyses of steel structures, boiler components, and machinery parts for surface models with finite elements. The FE‑mesh generator is very powerful and results are processed completely. ”
“I've attended the webinar on glass design. Excellent explanation. I don't design glass structures, however it was very interesting to explore the potential of the software.”
I'm glad I could exchange information with you at the trade fair in Munich.
Thanks for your feedback and keep it up. RFEM makes us really happy.
“As usual, I would like to confirm that it is a real pleasure to work with the Dlubal Software programs, which I have been able to use with ease.
I am also completely satisfied with the connection to REVIT 2017 as it complies with a very high standard and works well.”
RFEM is a product that I can 100% recommend. The program can be applied to all situations. I am totally satisfied with RFEM as well as with the whole Dlubal team.
The hotline is absolutely competent and on a high level. Support technicians are keen to help and also answer questions beyond the application of RFEM.
“We have been using RFEM for 1 year now and are very satisfied with it. This software fully meets our expectations. We got started with the software quickly. The models as well as the analysis tools are very user-friendly. The Hotline service is responsive and efficient. ”
“Thank you very much for the useful information.
I would like to pay a compliment to your support team. I am always impressed how quickly and professionally the questions are answered. In the industry of structural analysis, I use several software including service contract, but your support is by far the best.”
“The engineering office MAyA purchased RFEM for the project Puy du Fou. We were surprised at the speed with which the software could be used. The load application could be completed at the end of the first day without any training. "
As a student, I use the software with great pleasure because the intuitive control of the program, very useful webinars as well as the perfect communication and solving any problem allow me to quickly move forward. I have also attended a seminar, which gave me the opportunity to learn many new improvements and features thanks to the professional presentation. I consider my selection of the Dlubal Software program to be a successful step in practice. Many thanks.
I became interested in the RFEM program based on very positive references from colleagues who came into contact with the program during their practice. I searched the Internet for relevant information and videos, had the program shown and now I have been a user for about four months.
I especially appreciate the intuitive environment of program control, overall clarity when entering input data and checking the results and fast and logical access to individual functions. The basic program can be extended by many additional modules, from which perhaps everyone can choose according to their needs and focus.
I would also like to highlight the approach of technical support engineers not only to their customers, but also to those who are only interested in the program.
“Thanks, you’re the best!
Great program to use …. when the support has the right answers.”
RFEM is the best I have used. I have experience with RISA, STAAD, ETABS, Visual Analysis, and others. In the tensile/fabric structure world, I've tried NDN, Forten, etc. Once you get used to RFEM's interface, it has no comparison to the others. Even with typical structures, it's much easier.
“The Info Day was very informative and I have taken a lot of tips and suggestions with me. Many thanks to you and your colleagues at the front. ”
