Structural FEA Software RFEM 6 | Load Generation
Quick and Easy Generation of Loads
"We are completely satisfied with RFEM and the Dlubal Software team too. Keep it up!
Maderas Besteiro is in contact with many engineers and the structural wood research team at the University of Santiago de Compostela and they always speak of RFEM as the reference software."

As a standard feature, RFEM includes helpful tools for generating wind, snow, and opening loads, etc., as well as for converting surface loads into member loads.
Generation of Snow Loads
The Snow Load Wizard can be used to generate snow loads as member loads or surface loads.
Additional snow loads such as snow overhang and snow guard can be taken into account as well.
The following standards are available:
1991-1-3 (incl. National Annexes)
SIA 260
Generation of Wind Loads
Wind loads can be automatically generated as member loads or area loads (RFEM) on the following structural components:
- Vertical walls
- Flat roofs
- Monopitch roofs
- Duopitch/troughed roofs
- Vertical walls with roof
The following standards are available:
- 1991-1-4 (incl. National Annexes)
- SIA 260
Generating Member/Line Loads from Area Loads
Area loads can be automatically converted into member loads or line loads (RFEM).
For member loads from area loads, a plane must be defined via corner nodes or cells must be selected in the graphic.
Generating Member Loads from Free Line Loads
For member models such as grillages, you can define free line loads (e.g. from conveyor belts) and transfer them proportionally to members.
