The most important formulas of a civil engineer Part 2
Video
First Steps with RFEM
Description
In the second part we extend our selection of the most important formulas for civil engineers to provide you with even more useful formulas and tools for your everyday life as civil engineers and students.
This time, we go into detail and look at more complex cross-sections and quick estimations.
Find the first part in our channel and on the Dlubal website.

Design of concrete columns subjected to centric compression with RF-CONCRETE Columns
This article compares it with the following article: Design of concrete columns subjected to centric compression with RF-CONCRETE Members . It is therefore a question of taking exactly the same theoretical application carried out on RF-CONCRETE Members and reproducing it on RF-CONCRETE Columns. Thus, the objective is to compare the different input parameters and the results obtained for the two additional modules for the design of column -type concrete members.
Material Model Orthotropic Masonry 2D
The material model Orthotropic Masonry 2D is an elastoplastic model that additionally allows softening of the material, which can be different in the local x- and y-direction of a surface. The material model is suitable for (unreinforced) masonry walls with in-plane loads.
- How do I display some results of all load cases in the printout report, but other results of the selected load cases only?
- Where do I find the setting to specify the entered structural component as a "wall" or "slab"?
- Are the Dlubal Software programs suitable for the analysis and design of hydraulic steel structures?
- "During the calculation of material non-linearity, the material with a decreasing branch of the diagram can be calculated with one load increment only." Why do I get this error?
- Are the models and presentations from Info Day 2019 freely available, and can you send them to me?
- I obtain different results when comparing the deformation analysis in the RF‑CONCRETE add-on modules and another calculation program. What could be the reason for this?
- For the design, I can only select the surrounding reinforcement for a rectangular cross-section. Why?
- What is the best way to consider steel fiber concrete in the structural analysis software RFEM?
- In RF‑/STEEL EC3, I get an error message saying that the node with a support does not exist in the set of members. What is the reason?
- How can I deactivate displaying symbols for the FE mesh refinement?
