1
Automatic Generation of Combinations in RFEM and RSTAB
The programs RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9 help you to automatically create load and result combinations according to the Chinese standards GB 50009, GB 50011, and GB 50068.
2
Steel Design According to GB 50017
Do you already have the Steel Design add-on for RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9? If you are planning a project in China, it's even better. Among other things, this add-on performs the ultimate and serviceability limit state design checks of members according to the Chinese standard GB 50017.
3
Timber Design According to GB 50005
The Timber Design add-on for RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9 is multi-purpose and combines a large number of additional elements. It includes all typical ultimate limit state, stability, serviceability limit state, and fire resistance design checks of timber members according to the Chinese standard GB 50005.
4
Seismic Design According to GB 50011
Do you already know the Modal Analysis add-on for RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9? It allows you to easily determine natural frequencies and mode shapes.
On the other hand, the Response Spectrum Analysis add-on for RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9 allows you to perform the seismic analysis using the multi-modal response spectrum analysis. Among others, the Chinese standard GB 50011 is implemented here.
5
Design of Reinforced Concrete Members, Columns, and Surfaces According to GB 50010
Are the modules for concrete design exactly what you are still missing? Are you planning a project in China? Then we have the right thing for you! Use GB 50010 for RFEM 5 / RSTAB 8 to extend various modules for concrete design with the Chinese standard GB 50010.
6
Steel Design According to Code of Practice for the Structural Use of Steel 2011 (Buildings Department - Hong Kong)
One of the many useful add-on modules by Dlubal is RF- /STEEL HK for RFEM 5 / RSTAB 8. For example, it designs members and sets of members for the ultimate and the serviceability limit state according to the Hong Kong standard Code of Practice for the Structural Use of Steel 2011 (Buildings Department - Hong Kong).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)Customer Projects
Fascinating customer projects designed with the Dlubal structural analysis software.
Designing Surfaces Using Internal Forces Without Rib Component
For the design of concrete surfaces, the rib component of the internal forces can be neglected for the ULS calculation and for the analytical method of the SLS calculation, because this component is already considered in the member design. To do this, select the check box in the "Details" dialog box. If no rib was defined, this function is not available.

- Why are the values of a column base, head, or center on the individual columns only displayed partially for the results from the calculation in RF‑CONCRETE Columns?
- Is it also possible to reduce the shear force on a support or perform design with the shear force at a distance d to the support in RF‑CONCRETE Surfaces?
- When I create a user-defined result value, the RFEM solver window opens briefly and the calculation is apparently performed again. Why? I have already performed the calculation.

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.

RSTAB 9
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.
