First Steps with RFEM
Description
Efficient Structural Analysis with BIM
Thanks to BIM, the collaboration of structural engineers and other project participants is even easier. Work on a common model basis throughout the entire planning process and be even more effective.
For example, export your model from Autodesk Revit to Dlubal. Edit your structural model in RFEM and transfer the dimensioned system back to Revit.
Keep your systems up to date. Minimize your project costs and take advantage of this competitive advantage.
Use the interface to Tekla Structures to ensure that no information is lost between the structural system and the structure, thus ensuring greater planning reliability.
In addition to the direct interfaces to AutoCAD, Revit and Tekla Structures, Dlubal offers many options for exchanging your data via other formats, such as dxf, ifc, or stp.

The ISM file (ISM = Integrated Structural Modeling) in RFEM and RSTAB is an interesting possibility to exchange data.
RF-COM/RS-COM | Scope of Functions
- Reading and writing access to structural data, load case data, load and result combinations, and calculation results
- External control of calculation
- Possibility to open and edit available models or to create new models
- Access to all results such as deformations, internal forces, and support reactions
- Ability to intercept possible errors using error messages
- Access to control elements as well as results of the following programs:
- RF-/STEEL
- RF-/STEEL EC3
- RF-/ALUMINUM
- RF-/CONCRETE
- RF-STABILITY
- RX-TIMBER Glued-Laminated Beam
- RF-/TIMBER Pro
- RF-/DYNAM Pro
- SUPER-RC
- Which programs can I use to calculate and design power plants?
- I am trying to import a model from cadwork. Unfortunately, I cannot correctly transfer the cross-sections from cadwork to RFEM. Do you have any tip?
- Does RFEM integrate with Autodesk Inventor?
- How can I import an IFC model into the RWIND Simulation environment?
- Can I define nonlinear support conditions via the COM interface?
-
When trying to import a model from AutoCAD into RFEM, I am getting the error message "3DSOLID or REGION entity detected. Those entities are written in binary format, so import is not possible."
What does this mean? - How can I create a comment via the COM interface?
- Are the Revit and Tekla models that you've shown in "Webinar 3: BIM Integration and RFEM" available for free use and can you send them to me?
- When I import a .stp file into RFEM a lot of unused nodes appear. How can I avoid that?
- Is direct import and export possible with Autocad?
