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 Steel Design add-on allows you to design steel members according to various design standards. Cross-section resistance checks, stability analyses, and serviceability limit state design checks can also be performed. 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 Steel Design add-on for the RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9 programs.
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 concrete design was performed in the second part. Finally, the third part deals with the design of the steel members according to EN 1993‑1‑1 with the CEN settings.
Dynamic analyses in RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9 can be performed in several add-ons.
- The Modal Analysis add-on is the basic add-on, performing natural vibration analyses for member, surface, and solid models. It is a prerequisite for all other dynamic add-ons.
- The Response Spectrum Analysis add-on allows you to perform a seismic analysis using the multi-modal response spectrum analysis.
- The Time History Analysis add-on allows for a dynamic structural analysis of external excitations that can be defined as a function of time.
- The Pushover Analysis add-on allows you to determine the maximum nonlinear response of a structure to seismic loads.
- The Harmonic Response Analysis add-on is still under development.
This manual describes the dynamic analysis add-ons for RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9.
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. After performing the concrete design in the second part, the third part now deals with the design of steel members. AISC 360-16 is used as a standard.
The Timber Design add-on allows you to design timber members and surfaces according to various design standards. Cross-section resistance checks, stability analyses, and serviceability limit state design checks can also be performed. 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.

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 Aluminum Design add-on allows you to design aluminum members according to various design standards. It is possible to perform cross-section resistance checks, stability analyses, 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 Aluminum Design add-on for the RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9 programs.
The "Steel Joints" add-on allows for the analysis of connections on the basis of an FE model. The design checks are carried out for various connection types for rolled and welded cross-sections. The input and result evaluation are completely integrated in the user interface of the structural FEA software RFEM.
