Design Software for Structural Steel Connections
Structural FEM Analysis and Design
Do you already know the structural analysis program RFEM 6? If not, it's about time. RFEM 6 is the basis of a modular program family. The main program RFEM is used to define structures, materials, and loads of planar and spatial structural systems consisting of plates, walls, shells, and members. Your project cannot be assigned 100% to any system? Don't worry, because it is also possible to create combined structures as well as model solid and contact elements.
Connection Design
Are you still looking for the right add-ons and add-on modules for planning your project? Then you are right here. Here you will find numerous add-ons for steel connections as well as add-on modules for the connection design in steel and timber structures. This brings you a step closer to completing your project.
Interfaces for Data Exchange
Programs supporting the data exchange are incredibly helpful in your daily work. The structural analysis software provided by Dlubal Software can be integrated seamlessly into the Building Information Modeling (BIM) process. The large number of interfaces allows you to exchange the data of digital building models with RFEM or RSTAB.
Use the Webservice as your programmable interface. This service allows you to read and write the data from or to RFEM and RSTAB.
Support and Learning
Our numerous good reviews speak for themselves: We attach great importance to the satisfaction of our customers. Customer service is a fundamental pillar of the Dlubal Software company philosophy. We provide any necessary support you need to complete your daily work. Please contact us!

Further Information
Advantages
RFEM offers the following options to design a pinned end plate connection. First, there is the option in RF-JOINTS Steel - Pinned to enter the corresponding parameters quickly and easily to receive a documented analysis, including graphics.
- Which result combinations can I design with the RF‑/JOINTS Pro program, and what should I pay attention to?
- How can I display the contact stresses on a contact solid?
- When calculating a connection using the FRAME‑JOINT Pro add-on module, a message appears saying that the value is out of the valid range (existing value: 108, minimum value 100, maximum value 100). What does this message mean?
