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.
Display of Forces and Deformations of Hinges and Releases
RFEM offers the following tables to display forces and deformations of hinges and releases:
- 4.45 Line Hinges - Deformations
- 4.46 Line Hinges - Forces
- 4.47 Member Hinges - Deformations
- 4.48 Member Hinges - Forces
- 4.49 Nodal Releases - Deformations
- 4.50 Nodal Releases - Forces
- 4.51 Line Releases - Deformations
- 4.52 Line Releases - Forces
The tables can be displayed in the prinout report. Moreover, the results in line hinges and line releases can be displayed graphically. It can be controlled by the Project Navigator - Results.
