With the stand -alone program RWIND Simulation, you can simulate wind flows around simple or complex structures by means of a digital wind tunnel.
The generated wind loads acting on these objects can be imported to RFEM or RSTAB.

First English Podcast Episode: #018 Parametric Design in Civil Engineering and Architecture feat. Junghwo Park
In our first episode, we're talking with the architect Jungwho Park about parametric documentation and computational design. A big topic is the BIM situation in this field.
Scaffolding Support Dependent on Normal Force
Temporary structures such as scaffolding or props are versatile structures that can be adapted very well to different geometric conditions.
Video: UPD 004 | Update to Program Version x.26
Check out this video to learn more about the most important new features and improvements in the latest program versions of RFEM 5.26, RSTAB 8.26 and RWIND Simulation 1.26.
Parameters from Cross-Sections
In RFEM and RSTAB, parameterization provides you many options, especially for recurring structural elements. Within the parameterization tool, you can access the internal values of a model, for example the values of a selected cross‑section. The following example shows you how this can work.
Video: Virtual Reality (VR) & Augmented Reality (AR) and Structural Model - Is That Possible?
The construction industry is increasingly digitized. "Augmented Reality" (AR), "Mixed Reality" (MR) and "Virtual Reality" (VR) are frequently used in structural design. All technologies have their own advantages. The glTF format also opens the door to virtual reality for RFEM and RSTAB models.
Moongate Residence Suspended Glass Staircase in Sedona, AZ, USA
The Moongate residence located in Sedona, Arizona, USA, was exceptionally designed by the Scottsdale-based architecture and planning studio, SWABACK. The entryway’s glass staircase suspended by steel rods is perhaps the main focal point and most remarkable engineering feat throughout the house.
Create Overall Structure from Partial Structures
In RFEM and RSTAB, you can simulate extensive complex models from different materials in one computing environment.
The model input time increases with the degree of complexity and the refinement of the element organization. For some structures, it is recommended to decompose the complete model into several parts to facilitate the input.
RFEM 5 Tutorial for Students | 013 Dynamics: Natural Vibrations | Input Data
In this first part, the required input data necessary for calculation for RF-DYNAM Pro - Natural Vibrations add-on module will be explained and entered. This video is part of an overall series where the ultimate goal will be to run a response spectrum analysis (RSA).
