The Dlubal Center serves as the central management for the component series available in the Components add-on. The Dlubal Center allows you to select, filter, and provide existing component series for use in the model.
Component series in the Dlubal Center
You can open the Dlubal Center with the
button in the toolbar.
Then, set the Component series category in the bar on the left.
Alternatively, you can open the dialog directly via the Data navigator (see image Opening the Dlubal Center in the Data navigator).
All available component series are displayed in the Dlubal Center. In addition to the component series provided by Dlubal, user-defined component series that were previously created and saved by the user can also appear here.
Filtering component series
Various filter options for the Component series are available in the left area of the Dlubal Center. They represent series (types) with similar components. The component series can be filtered by manufacturer or material, among other things. This allows you to specifically narrow down the selection, especially in large libraries.

Selecting a component
If you select a component series at the top of the middle area, the contained Components are listed below in table form. The associated parameters are displayed for each component. These include, for example, the geometrical dimensions, ultimate limit states, or other properties that are relevant for modeling and design checks.
You can find more information about how the Dlubal Center works in the Dlubal Center chapter of the RFEM manual and on our website.
