Analysis & Design Software for Laminate, Sandwich, and Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) Structures

Structural Engineering Software for Laminate & Sandwich Structures

If you want your laminate or sandwich surfaces to withstand the usage, you can rely on stress and deflection analyses in the Dlubal structural analysis program RFEM. The calculation can consider shear coupling and is carried out according to the laminate theory.

You can use this design type, for example, for cross-laminated timber elements (CLT), fiber-reinforced plastics, such as FRP, GRP, GFRP, or carbon material, and many others.

Structural FEM Analysis and Design

The successful structural analysis program RFEM 6 by Dlubal Software is the basis of a modular program family that you can customize and combine according to your precise requirements. In the main program RFEM, you can define structures, materials, and loads of planar and spatial structural systems consisting of plates, walls, shells, and members. Furthermore, you can create combined structures as well as model solid and contact elements.

Wind Simulation and Wind Load Generation

Do your structures have to withstand every gust of wind? Then it is best to use the Dlubal stand-alone program RWIND 2. We particularly recommend it for complex model shapes. There are wind flows around all structures simulated in a digital wind tunnel.

You can easily import your generated wind loads acting on these objects into RFEM or RSTAB. Thus, you can complete your project there.

Design of Laminate Surfaces

If you want your laminate surfaces to withstand the usage, you can rely on the RF‑LAMINATE add-on module for RFEM 5. It performs precise stress and deflection analysis of laminate surfaces under consideration of shear coupling (cross-laminated timber elements, fiberglass, carbon, and so on).

Consideration of Construction Stages

Stay on track of the construction process with the Construction Stages Analysis (CSA) add-on for RFEM 6. In RFEM, this allows you to consider the construction process of structures (member, surface, and solid structures). Avoid potential mistakes when calculating entire models that arise when neglicting the influence of the construction process. With this add-on, you can analyze the influences and consider them right up to the structural design.

Interfaces for Data Exchange

The Dlubal structural analysis 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 (a programmable interface) to read or write the data from or to RFEM and RSTAB.

RFEM 6
Hall with Arched Roof

Main Program

The structural analysis program RFEM 6 is the basis of a modular software system. The main program RFEM 6 is used to define structures, materials, and loads of planar and spatial structural systems consisting of plates, walls, shells, and members. The program can also design combined structures as well as solid and contact elements.

RSTAB 9
Structural Frame and Truss Analysis Software

Main Program

The structural frame & truss analysis and design program RSTAB 9 contains a similar range of functions as the FEA software RFEM, paying special attention to frames and trusses. Therefore, it is very easy to use and for many years, it has been the best choice for the structural analysis of beam structures consisting of steel, concrete, timber, aluminum, and other materials.
