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 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.
