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.
The structural frame analysis and design program RSTAB contains a similar range of functions as RFEM, with special attention to frameworks. Therefore, it is very easy to use and for many years it has been the best choice for structural analysis.
RF-STABILITY/RSBUCK determines buckling modes and critical load factors of the model using the Eigenvalue Method. Therefore, it is especially suitable for linear and nonlinear analysis of stability behavior.
The RF-IMP/RSIMP add-on module creates equivalent geometric imperfections (equivalent lateral loads) or a pre-deformed initial model.
RF‑/STEEL Warping Torsion is an extension of the RF‑/STEEL EC3 add‑on module. It performs flexural-torsional and lateral‑torsional buckling analysis of members according to the second‑order theory with 7 degrees of freedom and application of imperfections with regard to mode shapes.
The PLATE-BUCKLING stand-alone program or RF-/PLATE-BUCKLING add-on module performs plate buckling analysis of rectangular plates according to the standard EN 1993-1-5.
Brock Commons is a student residence currently under construction at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada.
The mass timber hybrid structure comprises of five‑ply cross laminated timber (CLT) floor panels, a concrete transfer slab, and a steel framed roof.

A single-family home with a remarkable roof structure stands in Upper Austria since 2014.
The circle in the center of the building is spanned by a tented roof built as a visible wooden structure. Together with the light‑flooded glass facade, it is a real eye‑catcher.
The company BAUER Maschinen GmbH, working in the field of specialist foundation engineering, has developed a new deep drilling rig.
The steel drilling structure with a height of 42 m is used to make borings up to a depth of 7,000 m in the area of geothermal energy, oil or gas.
G3 Shopping Resort is the largest construction project for cross-laminated timber in Europe.
The structure with architecturally sophisticated design consists of cross-laminated timber slabs and glued-laminated beams. Both architectural and structural highlight is the huge timber roof spanning the building like a giant wave.
