Design Software for Structural Timber Connections
FEM Analysis and Design of Structures
The structural analysis program RFEM is the basis of a modular software system. The main program RFEM is used to define structures, materials, and loads for planar and spatial structural systems consisting of plates, walls, shells and members. The program also allows you to create combined structures as well as model solid and contact elements.
Analysis and Design of Beam Structures
The structural beam analysis program RSTAB determines internal forces, deformations and support reactions. For designs, there are various add-on modules considering the material and standard-specific circumstances. Due to the modular software system, it is possible to use the program package that perfectly meets your individual needs.
Design of Joints
Here you can find numerous add-on modules for the design of joints in steel and timber structures.
Interfaces for Data Exchange
The structural analysis software provided by Dlubal can be seamlessly integrated into the Building Information Modeling (BIM) process. A variety of interfaces allows you to exchange data from digital building models with RFEM or RSTAB.

Forces by Screw in Main-Connected Beam Joint
RF-/JOINTS Timber - Timber to Timber allows you to design main-connected beam joints. This article explains the determination of forces in the screws of a beam connected to a torsionally rigid main beam.
- Where can I find the internal forces at certain nodes in the printout report?
- Is it possible to design Joints, Timber Connections according to EN 1995-1-1, Chapter 8.2.2 in RSTAB and RFEM?
- Which Dlubal Software programs can I use to calculate and design timber structures?
- For a truss with the steel lower flange and timber diagonals, I would like to design the connection of the diagonals. Is this possible?
- Is it possible to automatically consider the flexibility of the fasteners in the RF-/JOINTS Timber - Steel to Timber module when determining the internal forces?
