Software for Process Manufacturing Plants
3D Finite Element Analysis and Design
Structural engineering FEA software 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 & Design of Frame/Beam/Truss Structures
Structural frame analysis and design software RSTAB contains a similar range of functions as RFEM, with special attention to beam, frame, or truss structures. Therefore, it is very easy to use and for many years it has been the best choice for structural analysis.
Wind Simulation & Wind Load Generation
Use the stand-alone program RWIND Simulation for complex structures. This program simulates wind flows around any structures by means of a digital wind tunnel.
The generated wind loads acting on these objects can be imported to RFEM or RSTAB.

With the RF-DYNAM Pro - Equivalent Loads add-on module, it is possible to generate automatically load distribution in accordance with a mode shape and export it as load case to RFEM.
- How do I determine wind loads on structures of any shape?
- Two solution methods are available for the nonlinear time history analysis in the RF-/DYNAM Pro module. What is the difference between them?
- How do I define temperature loads on a composite beam?
- What is the best way to model two welded members that rest parallel to each other?
- How can I create a drilled beam in RFEM?
- How can I additionally model welds for the connection of two surfaces with a contact solid?
- In connection with the calculation according to the large deformation analysis, I get significantly smaller deformations than for the calculation according to the linear static or second-order analysis. How is this possible?
- When entering data in the RF‑/STEEL EC3 add-on module, I get the error message "Incorrect location of the intermediate lateral restraint". Why?
- When creating a material, there are no nonlinear material models available for surfaces or solids. Why?
- Are the Dlubal Software programs applicable for analysis of process manufacturing plants?
