The FEA software RFEM allows for the modeling and structural analysis of general plate, shell, and member structures. It is also possible to analyze combined structures as well as solid elements and objects with contact properties.
This user manual describes the modeling, calculation, and result evaluation features related to the structural analysis.
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.

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 how the load cases are combined within the construction stages.
The RWIND Simulation program represents a separate application which is used externally to determine load cases and wind loads for RFEM or RSTAB models. The software uses a numerical CFD model to apply a fluid-mechanics simulation of the flow around objects in a wind tunnel.
