Analysis & Design Software for Buildings
FEM Analysis and Design of Structures
The RFEM program 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 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 and design of timber structures.
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.
Add-on Modules for Design of Buildings
Depending on the material used, you can find more useful add-on modules for structural analysis and design of buildings under the industries Steel Structures, Reinforced Concrete Structures, and Timber Structures.
Dynamic frequency analysis and seismic design
For dynamic calculations of buildings, add -on modules for determining natural frequencies and shapes as well as for earthquake analysis are available.
Building Information Modeling (BIM)
Dlubal Software provides powerful structural analysis programs for construction planning according to Building Information Modeling (BIM).
This is ensured primarily by a wide range of RFEM and RSTAB interfaces (for example direct interfaces with Tekla Structures and Revit Structure).
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.

Bar Reinforcement Export to Revit
The reinforcement proposal from RF-/CONCRETE Members can be exported to Revit. The rectangular and circular cross-sections are currently supported.
The reinforcement bars can be modified retroactively in Revit.
- How do I determine wind loads on structures of any shape?
- Which roof and ground plan shapes can be considered with the wind and snow load generators of RFEM/RSTAB?
- Can I also generate a wind load on roof overhangs using the load generator?
- The building that I calculate is located in the North German Plain. How can I consider the increased snow load?
- I would like to extend an existing structure with a false ceiling that is not connected to the existing columns. How can I model it?
- For line releases, I obtain the resultants in the horizontal direction, which I cannot understand.
- How can I display wind speeds at a certain height above the ground for a wind comfort analysis?
- Can I also use the wind load generator for open buildings?
- When evaluating the support reactions of a plate supported by line supports, I noticed that the support reaction pz' does not correspond to the shear force and deviates significantly. What is the reason?
- How is it possible to consider the real cross-section geometry of member elements in RWIND Simulation?
