Technical Terms Used in Dlubal Software
The Dlubal Structural Analysis Wiki explains technical terms used in structural analysis and design. The terms are given in alphabetical order and are usually used in Dlubal Software.
By assigning a cross-section and the related material, the member gets a stiffness. Members are always connected by the nodes only.
Members do not have any lateral expansion. Thus, they are an idealization of real structural components.

Knowledge Base Articles
This article looks at a practical use-case of programming a 2D Truss Generator GUI with Python.
This article shows you how to define different types of member transverse stiffeners in RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9. It also shows you how to consider them in the design as well as the calculation of members with 7 degrees of freedom.
In RFEM 6, it is possible to define line welds between surfaces and calculate the weld stresses using the Stress-Strain Analysis add-on. This article will show you how to do it.
This article discusses the options available for determining the nominal flexural strength, Mnlb for the limit state of local buckling when designing according to the 2020 Aluminum Design Manual.
A standard scenario in timber member construction is the ability to connect smaller members by means of bearing on a larger girder member. Additionally, member end conditions may include a similar situation where the beam is bearing on a support type. In either scenario, the beam must be designed to consider the bearing capacity perpendicular to the grain according to the NDS 2018 (Sect. 3.10.2) and the CSA O86:19 (Clause 6.5.6 and 7.5.9). In the new generation RFEM 6 and Timber Design add-on, the added feature 'design supports' now allows users to comply with the NDS and CSA bearing perpendicular to the grain design checks.
Product Features Articles
For cold-formed sections from the cross-section library as well as for general cold-formed (non-perforated) sections from RSECTION, it is possible to determine the effective cross-section, taking into account the local buckling and instability, and to perform a cross-section check according to EN 1993-1-3, 6.1.6. Internal forces from the calculation using Torsional Warping (7 DOF) are taken into account by means of the equivalent stress check
