Full Text Search in Material Library
RFEM and RSTAB include an extensive material library, which can be extended by user‑defined materials. As of the version X.05, the material library provides a comfortable full‑text search. In this way, you can find materials more quickly.
RWIND Simulation | Transfer of Wind Loads to RFEM or RSTAB
When you start the analysis in the interface program, a batch process starts that puts all member, surface, and solid definitions of the RFEM/RSTAB model rotated with all relevant factors in the numerical RWIND Simulation wind tunnel, analyzes the model, and returns the resulting surface pressures as FE node loads or member loads to the respective load cases in RFEM and RSTAB.
These load cases containing RWIND Simulation loads can be calculated and combined with other loads in load combinations and result combinations.
- What is the difference between an upgrade and an update?
- After installing RFEM 5.20.01 or RSTAB 8.20.01, our network license does not work any more. What can we do?
- Are the upcoming upgrades of RFEM/RSTAB and the individual programs included in a service contract?
- After an update of RSTAB, my .rst files, which have been used by another program, are always opened with RSTAB. However, the .rst file does not belong to RSTAB, but to another program. How do I control the association of the file type?
- Why are the commands added in toolbars sometimes lost after the update?
- Is the update installed over the old version? Or is a parallel version of the program created?
- Is there any way to get a free student version of Dlubal Software (such as RFEM, RSTAB, RWIND Simulation) if I am not attending a university or college, but a high school, for example?
- Is it possible to keep the results from RWIND Simulation when deleting the FE mesh if I only adjust materials or support conditions?
- I have defined a wind profile for RWIND Simulation up to a height of 100 m. Is the wind profile dependent on the size of the wind tunnel?
- How can I import an IFC model into the RWIND Simulation environment?
