First Steps with RFEM
Description
We would like to invite you to our online training "RFEM | Structural Dynamics and Seismic Analysis According to EC 8."
A reliable internet connection is required to participate. Basic knowledge of RSTAB or RFEM is also expected.
During the training, each participant can ask questions at any time using the chat option.
After the event, each participant will receive the models, video recordings, and materials presented in the training for download. This way, the participant can go through and understand the training step by step on the models.
After completing the training, each participant will receive a certificate.

Using Modified Stiffnesses for Dynamic Calculations
In RFEM, it is possible to modify stiffnesses for materials, cross -sections, members, load cases, and load combinations in many places.

Considering the Stiffness of Gas Solids in Nonlinear Time History Analysis
The stiffness of gas given by the ideal gas law pV = nRT can be considered in the nonlinear dynamic analysis.
The calculation of gas is available for accelerograms and time diagrams for both the explicit analysis and the nonlinear implicit Newmark analysis. To determine the gas behaviour correctly, at least two FE layers for gas solids should be defined.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- After the calculation in the RF‑/DYNAM Pro - Equivalent Loads add-on module, the size of my file has increased significantly. The performance has worsened enormously. What could be the reason for this?
- I would like to calculate and design "temporary structures." What do I need for this?
- Which programs can I use to calculate and design power plants?
- I noticed deviations from the map of DIN EN 1998‑1 or DIN 4149 in the online service "<a href="https://www.dlubal.com/en-US/solutions/online-services/snow-load-wind-speed-and-seismic-load-maps" target="_blank">Geo-Zone Tool: Snow, Wind, and Seismic Zone Maps</a>." Can you tell me which map is current and thus governing?
- How do you distinguish between the response spectra with equivalent loads and the response spectra without equivalent loads in RFEM and RSTAB?
- What should be considered when using a failure of columns under tension in the RF‑/DYNAM Pro - Equivalent Loads add-on module?
- I would like to design an aluminum or lightweight structure. Is it possible to use RFEM or RSTAB for this?
- Why do I only obtain the seismic loads calculated in one direction in the case of design with RF‑/DYNAM Pro?
- Are the models and presentations from Info Day 2020 freely available, and can you send them to me?
- During the check in RF‑/DYNAM Pro, I get the message "No natural vibration case or dynamic load case has been selected for the calculation." Why?
