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 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.
This manual describes the Timber Design add-on for the RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9 programs.
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 "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.
This manual describes the Steel Joints add-on for RFEM 6.
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 carried out. Then the concrete and steel designs were performed in the following parts. This part now deals with the design of the steel connections according to EN 1993-1-8 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 carried out. Then the concrete and steel designs were performed in the following parts. This part now deals with the design of the steel connections according to AISC 360-22.
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.
The Multilayer Surfaces Add-on allows you to define the layer structure of any material models. In the case of orthotropic materials, the individual layers can be rotated by an angle β, and thus it is possible to consider different stiffnesses by direction. The Multilayer Surfaces add-on is completely integrated in the user interface of the FEA program RFEM.
This manual describes the Multilayer Surfaces add-on for the RFEM 6 program.
This manual describes the topics of the webinar Modeling and Design of Timber Structures in RFEM 6.
First, it shows how to model a hip rafter in RFEM 6 and how to apply loads, as well as how to perform timber design according to Eurocode 5. The creation of a printout report and the use of parameters and user-defined scripts are then discussed.
In the manual for the Timber Design add-on, you can find detailed explanations of all the add-on options.
