Canadian standards
The following Canadian standards are implemented in the Dlubal structural analysis software:
Implemented Canadian Standards
1
Automatic Generation of Combinations in RFEM and RSTAB
In RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9, load and result combinations are automatically created according to the Canadian standards CAN/CSA, NBCC, or CSA O86.
2
Design of Reinforced Concrete Members and Surfaces According to CSA A23.3-14
For reinforced concrete design in RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9, the Canadian standard CSA A23.3 is available.
3
Steel Design According to CSA S16
The Steel Design add-on for RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9 performs the ultimate limit state and the serviceability limit state design of members according to the Canadian standard CSA S16.
4
Timber Design According to CSA O86
The Timber Design add-on for RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9 performs all typical ultimate limit state, stability, serviceability limit state, and fire resistance design checks of timber members according to the Canadian standard CSA O86.
5
Seismic Analysis Design According to NBC 2015
The Modal Analysis add-on for RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9 allows you to determine natural frequencies and mode shapes.
In the Response Spectrum Analysis add-on for RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9, the seismic analysis is performed using the multi-modal response spectrum analysis. Among others, the Canadian standard NBC 2015 is implemented.
6
Design of Laminate Surfaces According to CSA O86
The RF-LAMINATE add-on module performs deflection and stress analysis of sandwich and laminate surfaces (for example, CLT, GFRP) according to the standard CSA O86.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
New
This article shows you how to create contacts between two or more parallel surfaces by controlling the transfer of forces between them.
-
How do I create a user-defined fabric?
- My live load is less than or equal to 100 psf. How do I consider the reduced load factor in the ASCE 7 load combinations?
- How do I include the redundancy factor(s), ρ in the ASCE 7 load combinations?
- When using the search function of the cross-section library, a lot of similar cross-section series are displayed. How can I limit the search results to the exact cross-section description?
- How can I limit the value scale in RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9 to only display the positive values?
-
How can I activate or deactivate the "Drag and Drop" function?
- When modeling, I use the "Auto connect lines/members" function. However, RFEM 6 always creates a connection node of the "on member" type. How do I proceed to automatically divide the members?

RFEM 6
Main Program
The structural analysis program RFEM 6 is the basis of a modular software system. 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 can also design combined structures as well as solid and contact elements.

Main Program
The structural frame & truss analysis and design program RSTAB 9 contains a similar range of functions as the FEA software RFEM, paying special attention to frames and trusses. Therefore, it is very easy to use and for many years, it has been the best choice for the structural analysis of beam structures consisting of steel, concrete, timber, aluminum, and other materials.

Dynamic Analysis
In the Response Spectrum Analysis add-on, seismic analysis is performed using multi-modal response spectrum analysis. The spectra required for this can be created in compliance with the standards or can be user-defined. The equivalent static forces are generated from this. The add-on includes an extensive library of accelerograms from seismic zones. These can be used to generate response spectra.
