Individual Setting of Calculation Parameters

The calculation can be performed for all member types according to the linear static, second-order, or large deformation analysis. This selection option is available for load cases and load combinations. Additional calculation parameters are individually adjustable for load cases, load combinations, and result combinations. This ensures a high degree of flexibility with regard to the calculation method and detailed specifications.

Optional Incremental Load Application

The loading can be applied incrementally. The increment option is especially useful for calculations according to the large deformation analysis. For members, you can consider shear deformations and apply internal forces to a deformed or undeformed structural system. In addition, RFEM allows you to perform post‑critical analyses.

Multi-Core Processor and 64-Bit Technology

The equation solver includes an optimized FE mesh generator and supports the latest multi-core processor and 64-bit technology. It enables parallel calculations of linear load cases and load combinations using several processors without additional demands on the RAM: The stiffness matrix only has to be created once. The 64-bit technology and the enhanced RAM options allow for calculation of complex structural systems using the fast and direct equation solver.

The development of the deformation is displayed in a diagram during the calculation. This way, you can easily evaluate the convergence behavior.
