Very Practical Software

Very practical software with graphics making the model management easy to handle. It is possible to personalize the management of the models.
Excellent technical support, both in terms of speed of response as well as completeness and clarity.

KB 001925 | AISC Fillet Weld Design in RFEM 6
The weld stresses between surfaces can be determined using the Stress-Strain Analysis add-on in RFEM 6. Furthermore, the stress limit determined according to the applicable standard can be input to determine the stress ratio of the weld. This article focuses on the fillet weld design according to AISC 360-22 [1] with two examples from AISC Volume 1: Design Examples [2].

Product Features
Feature 002916 | Joint-Structure Interaction for Steel Joints

Want to automatically consider steel joint stiffness in your global RFEM model? Utilize the Steel Joints add-on!

Activate joint-structure interaction in the stiffness analysis of your steel joints. Hinges with springs are then automatically generated in the global model and included in subsequent calculations.

Feature 002901 | Plywood Materials According to ANSI/APA PRG 510 Plywood Standard (USA/CAN) in RFEM Material Library

In the material library of RFEM, you can find plywood materials according to the US and Canadian standards ANSI/APA PRG 510 Plywood (USA/CAN).

Feature 002870 | Charring Diagram

For the fire resistance design of timber surfaces, you can display a charring diagram depending on the time of fire exposure.

It is also possible to print this charring diagram into the printout report.

Feature 002824 | OSB Material for USA and Canada

In RFEM, the oriented strand board (OSB) material is available for the USA and Canada. The material parameters are taken from the "Panel Design Specification manual".

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

In the Steel Joints add-on, I get high utilization ratios for preloaded bolts in the tension design. Where do these high utilization ratios come from and how can I evaluate the load-bearing reserves of the bolt?

How can treating a connection as fully rigid result in an uneconomical design?

Is it possible to consider shear panels and rotational restraints in the global calculation?

Do I need to add a line hinge/line release for the CLT wall-to-floor connection in the Building Model add-on?
How can I add counteracting dead loads (0.9*D) in NBC load combinations?
A steel joint in my model is non-designable. How can I get more information to find the cause?
