Structural Analysis and Design Software for Timber Structures
Structural FEM Analysis and Design
The structural analysis program RFEM 6 is the basis of a modular program family. 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 also allows you to create combined structures as well as model solid and contact elements.
Structural Frame & Truss Analysis Software
The structural frame analysis software RSTAB 9 has a similar range of functions as the FEA software RFEM. Due to the special attention to beam, frame, or truss structures, it is very easy to use and for many years it has been the best choice for structural analysis and design.
Wind Simulation & Wind Load Generation
The RWIND 2 stand-alone program is recommended for complex structures. Utilize this program to simulate wind flow (digital wind tunnel) around buildings or any other objects and generating wind loads, that is the forces acting on these objects based on CFD.
Import the generated wind loads acting on these objects to the structural analysis and design software RFEM or RSTAB.
Timber Design According to Various Standards
The Timber Design add-on for RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9 designs timber members for the ultimate, serviceability, and fire resistance limit state according to the standards
EN 1995-1-1:2010 (Eurocode 5)
SIA 265:2015-08 (Swiss standard)
ANSI/AWC NDS:2018 (US standard)
CSA 086 (Canadian standard)
GB 50005 | 2017-11 (Chinese standard)
Generation, Analysis, and Evaluation of Building Models
The Building Model add-on for RFEM 6 allows you to define and manipulate a building by means of stories. The stories can be adjusted in many ways afterwards. Information about the stories and also the entire model (center of gravity) is displayed in tables and graphics.
Consideration of Construction Stages
The Construction Stages Analysis (CSA) add-on for RFEM 6 allows you to consider the construction process of structures (member, surface, and solid structures). Neglecting the influence of the construction process can lead to errors in the calculation of overall models. With the Construction Stages Analysis (CSA) add-on, you can analyze these influences and consider them up to the point of the structural design.
Model Optimization Using Artificial Intelligence (AI)
The two-part Optimization & Costs / CO2 Emission Estimation add-on for RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9 finds suitable parameters for parameterized models and blocks using the artificial intelligence (AI) technique of particle swarm optimization (PSO) to comply with common optimization criteria. Moreover, this add-on estimates the model costs or CO2 emissions by specifying unit costs or emissions per material definition for the structural model.
Analysis and Design of Laminate Surfaces
The RF-LAMINATE add-on module for RFEM 5 determines stiffness and performs stress and deflection analysis of laminate surfaces (for example, cross-laminated timber panels).
Design of Timber Connections
Numerous add-on modules provide design options for steel and timber connections.
Stand-Alone Programs RX-TIMBER
Stand-alone programs RX‑TIMBER perform the design of the ultimate limit state, the serviceability limit state and the fire resistance according to Eurocode 5.
