The Stress-Strain Analysis add-on performs a general stress analysis by calculating the existing stresses and comparing them with the limit stresses. RFEM also determines the stress ranges. Furthermore, it is possible to determine strains for surfaces and solids.
During the stress analysis, the maximum stresses of solids, surfaces, and line welds (RFEM only), as well as of members are determined. The governing internal forces are also documented for each member and surface. Furthermore, there is the option of an automatic section or thickness optimization including the update of the sections or surface thicknesses modified in RFEM/RSTAB.
This manual describes the Stress-Strain Analysis add-on for the programs RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9.
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.

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.
This manual describes the topics of the webinar "Modeling and Design of Solid Elements in RFEM 6".
In the webinar, a splice with bolts is modeled. It explains how you can define the contact between solids and perform a stress-strain analysis. Furthermore, the utilization of welds is also considered.
