New Option for Platform Connection
In order to check the overall model graphically, you can use the viewer function. Statically effective equipment can be generated with a single mouse click and exported to RFEM/RSTAB.
All module data are included in the global RFEM/RSTAB printout report.
You can define platforms, tubular extensions, antenna brackets, antennas, inner ducts, cable ducts, and ladders in separate input windows. Extensive libraries including parameterized models facilitate the entry.
There is an interactive graphic available in all input windows. This way, you can immediately see the position of tower equipment.
- Generation of inside and outside platforms using the library, including parameterized models
- Tubular extension and antenna bracket libraries as 2D and 3D structures
- Antenna groups sorted by mobile network operator
- Antenna library including parabolic, lense, shell, compact, and cuboidal antennas
- Parameterized input of inner and cable ducts as well as ladders with interactive graphics
After generating the effective lengths, the results are displayed in clearly arranged tables. You can modify the effective lengths manually there.
The Export function transfers the effective lengths to the RF-/TOWER Design add-on module for further calculation. The complete module data are part of the RFEM/RSTAB printout report. The report contents and the extent of the results can be selected specifically for the individual designs.

Add-On
The Steel Joints add-on for RFEM allows you to analyze steel connections using an FE model. The FE model is generated automatically in the background and can be controlled via the simple and familiar input of components.
Add-On
The Structure Stability add-on performs stability analysis of structures. It determines critical load factors and the corresponding stability modes.
Add-On
The Stress-Strain Analysis add-on performs general stress analysis by calculating the existing stresses and comparing them with the limit stresses.
Add-On
The two-part Optimization & Costs / CO2 Emission Estimation add-on finds suitable parameters for parameterized models and blocks via the artificial intelligence (AI) technique of particle swarm optimization (PSO) for compliance with common optimization criteria. Furthermore, this add-on estimates the model costs or CO2 emissions by specifying unit costs or emissions per material definition for the structural model.
