First Steps with RFEM
Question
Windows Defender does not allow me to install RX‑TIMBER. Is it possible to get around this?Answer
The protection can be disabled for the duration of the installation in Windows Security → App & browser control → Reputation-based protection → Check apps and files. After deactivating this check, RX‑TIMBER can be installed now. Then, we recommend to switch on the protection again.Keywords

The cross-section resistance design analyzes tension and compression along the grain, bending, bending and tension/compression as well as the strength in shear due to shear force.
The design of structural components at risk of buckling or lateral-torsional buckling is performed according to the Equivalent Member Method and considers the systematic axial compression, bending with and without compressive force as well as bending and tension. Deflection of inner spans and cantilevers is compared to the maximal allowable deflection.
Separate design cases allow for a flexible and stability analysis of members, sets of members, and loads.
Design-relevant parameters such as the stability analysis type, member slendernesses, and limit deflections can be freely adjusted.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Windows Defender does not allow me to install RX‑TIMBER. Is it possible to get around this?
- How can I change the language in the RX‑TIMBER add-on module?
- Is it possible to open the RX‑TIMBER files in RFEM and RSTAB?
- How are the signs for the release results of a line release and line hinges interpreted?
- How can I create a curved or arched section?
- After the design with RF‑/TIMBER Pro, I optimized a cross-section. Why is the utilization of the optimized cross-section exceeded now?
- Is it possible to design the support pressure or the compression perpendicular to the grain in RX‑TIMBER?
- Why are the stresses of the 90° orientation not displayed for a layer with the orthotropy direction 90° for σb,90 in RF‑LAMINATE?
- How can I get the member end forces to design the connections?
- I design timber components. The deformations of load combinations deviate from the manual calculation exactly by the factor of the material partial safety factor. Why?
