Structural engineering FEA software RFEM is the basis of a modular software system. 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.
Structural frame analysis and design software RSTAB contains a similar range of functions as RFEM, with special attention to beam, frame and truss structures. Therefore, it is very easy to use and for many years it has been the best choice for structural analysis.
RF/-TOWER Structure allows you to easily create lattice towers and radio masts by entering the relevant parameters.
In RF-/TOWER Equipment, it is possible to create tower equipment such as antennas, platforms, ladders, or cable lines.
RF-/TOWER Loading creates the design-relevant effects for lattice towers such as wind, ice, and variable loads.
RF-/TOWER Effective Lengths determines the buckling lengths of members used in lattice towers with square, rectangular or triangular floor plans.
RF-/TOWER Design designs lattice towers according to the standards EN 1993‑1‑1, EN 1993‑3‑1, and EN 50341.
RF-/JOINTS Steel - Tower designs pinned joints with bolt connections for members used in lattice towers in accordance with EN 1993‑1‑8 (Eurocode 3).
The bird watching tower in the Reuss river delta is an exceptional look-out structure in the Urner Alps, Switzerland.
From four viewing platforms, people seeking relaxation enjoy the wonderful view into the river delta, and ornithologists can watch nesting birds.
The Kuchlbauer tower is an architectural project built on the premises of the German brewery Kuchlbauer in Abensberg.
The tower was designed by F. Hundertwasser, who died in 2000 when the project was still in its planning stages.
In September 2015, the nature discovery park Panarbora was opened near Cologne, Germany.
A highlight of the park is the look‑out tower made of glued‑laminated timber which offers the visitors a breathtaking view over the Bergische Land.
The path leading through forest tree-tops in the Bavarian Forest National Park in Germany has a total length of 1,300 m and is the longest tree‑top walk worldwide.
The tree-top walkway leads to the spiral structure of the egg‑shaped tree tower with a height of 44 m.
A highlight of the 2014 State Garden Show in the German town of Schwäbisch Gmünd was the look-out tower "Himmelsstürmer" (Sky Climber) made of cross‑laminated timber.
Visitors climbing the 209 steps of the 40‑m‑high tower may feel like walking to the sky.
One of the world's highest timber structures is a look‑out tower on the Pyramidenkogel, a mountain in Carinthia, Austria.
The spiral-shaped tower with a height of 100 m provides a breathtaking view over the Alps-Adriatic region.
A highlight of the natural heritage center of the Rügen Island, Germany, is the "nest tower", a timber look-out tower with a height of 40 m.
The tree tower provides visitors a breathtaking panorama over the landscape of Rügen in the Prora beach resort.
The first Czech treetop walk was opened in Lipno, Czech Republic, in 2012. A path is 675 m long and leads to a tree tower.
The timber look-out tower with a height of 40 m provides wonderful view over the Šumava National Park and the Lipno Dam on the Vltava River.
In RF-/TOWER Design, it is now possible to classify cross‑sections manually according to Eurocode 3. This option may be useful when local buckling is prevented by the design and so the cross‑section has to be assigned to Class 3.
Platforms can be connected directly to leg members using the new “Leg Member Axis” option. Thus, it is not necessary to define the platform width or coupling member anymore.
