In this tutorial, we would like to inform you about the essential features of the RFEM program. The first part shows how to create the structural objects and loads, combine the loads, perform a structural analysis, check the results, and prepare the data for printing. Eurocodes with the CEN settings are used as standards.

In this tutorial, we would like to inform you about the essential features of the RFEM program. The first part shows how to create the structural objects and loads, combine the loads, perform a structural analysis, check the results, and prepare the data for printing. The US codes are used as standards.

The Concrete Design add-on allows you to design reinforced concrete members and surfaces according to various design standards. It is possible to perform the ultimate limit state and serviceability limit state design checks. The input and result evaluation are completely integrated in the user interface of the structural FEA software RFEM and the frame & truss analysis software RSTAB.

This manual describes the Concrete Design add-on for RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9. In RSTAB, you can only design members and member sets, not surfaces.

In this tutorial, we would like to inform you about the essential features of the RFEM program. In the first part, a model was defined and a structural analysis was carried out. The second part deals with the concrete design of the slabs, walls, beams, and the column according to EN 1992‑1‑1 with the CEN settings.

In this tutorial, we would like to inform you about the essential features of the RFEM program. In the first part, a model was defined and a structural analysis was carried out. Now, the second part deals with the concrete design of slabs, walls, beams, and the column. ACI 318-19 is used as a standard.

The Masonry Design add-on activates special material models that have been developed for calculating masonry structures. This allows you to consider the masonry material in an FEM analysis.

In the calculation, internal forces and deformations are determined on the basis of stress-strain lines derived from the standardization. This means that the design is based on the standard.

This manual describes the Masonry Design add-on for the RFEM 6 program.

The Construction Stages Analysis (CSA) add-on allows you to represent the construction process of the model in the RFEM 6 program. In this way, you can add, remove, or adjust structural objects to the individual construction phases. Furthermore, you can use the add-on can to determine the sequence of the load application and the way the load cases are combined within the construction stages.

For some structures, long-term effects such as creep, shrinkage, and aging can influence the distribution of internal forces. This time-dependent material behavior can be analyzed with the Time-Dependent Analysis (TDA) add-on, which is available in the RFEM 6 program.

The influence of the time-dependent material behavior can be analyzed for both members and surfaces. Creep effects are only taken into account for the material concrete.

The Form-Finding add-on finds the optimal shape of members subjected to axial forces and tension-loaded surface models. The shape is determined by the equilibrium between the member axial force or the membrane stress and the existing boundary conditions.

The resulting new model shape with impressed force conditions is made available as a universally applicable initial state for further calculation of the entire structure.

The Torsional Warping (7 DOF) add-on allows you to consider the cross-section warping as an additional degree of freedom for a global calculation of members in RFEM and RSTAB. The input and result evaluation are completely integrated in the user interface of the structural FEA software RFEM and the frame & truss analysis software RSTAB.

This manual describes the Torsional Warping (7 DOF) add-on for the programs RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9.

The Building Model add-on allows you to define and manipulate a building by means of stories. The stories can be adjusted in many ways. Information about the stories and also the entire model (a center of gravity) is displayed in tables and graphics.

This manual describes the Building Model add-on for the RFEM 6 program.

This manual describes the modeling of a stadium roof made of membranes in RFEM 6. Since the model consists of several segments, the creation of the individual segments is shown. Each segment consists of a main structure (a column, a stiffening element, cables) and a secondary structure (a membrane).

This manual describes the topics of the webinar "Modeling and Design of Reinforced Concrete Structures in RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9".

Using an example of a building ceiling, we explain how to perform reinforced concrete design according to Eurocode 2. Furthermore, the result documentation in the printout report is explained.

In the manual for the Concrete Design add-on, you can find detailed explanations of all the add-on options.

This manual describes the topics of the webinar "Masonry Design of Using Finite Element Method in RFEM 6".

This webinar shows you how to model masonry structures in RFEM 6 and how to calculate them using the nonlinear orthotropic material model.

This manual describes the topics of the webinar "Stability and Warping Torsion Analyses in RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9".

In the webinar, a stability analysis of a staircase tower is carried out. It explains when and why a warping torsion analysis with 7 degrees of freedom is necessary. Furthermore, special attention is given to how you can create and combine local imperfections in RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9.

In the manual, all steps are carried out in RFEM 6, but the same also applies to RSTAB 9.
