The number of degrees of freedom in a node is no longer a global calculation parameter in RFEM (6 degrees of freedom for each mesh node in 3D models, 7 degrees of freedom for the warping torsion analysis). Thus, each node is generally considered with a different number of degrees of freedom, which leads to a variable number of equations in the calculation.
This modification speeds up the calculation, especially for models where a significant reduction of the system could be achieved (for example, trusses and membrane structures).

The RWIND Simulation program for generating wind loads based on CFD can be utilized in different languages; for example, in:
- German
- English
- Czech
- Spanish
- French
- Italian
- Polish
- Portuguese
- Russian
Utilize the RWIND Simulation program to consider a surface roughness of the model surface by applying a modified wall boundary condition. The numerical model is based on the assumption that grains with a certain diameter are arranged homogeneously on the model surface, similar to sandpaper. The grain diameter is described with the parameter Ks and the distribution with the parameter Cs. By considering the wall roughness, the numerical flow simulation can capture reality more closely.
The volume space in RWIND Simulation can optionally be discretized with the second-order theory between the cells.
This extended approach usually results in more accurate results despite poorer convergence behavior.

Main Program
The new generation of 3D FEA software is used for the structural analysis of members, surfaces, and solids.
Add-On
The Masonry Design add-on for RFEM allows you to design masonry using the finite element method. It was developed as part of the research project titled DDMaS – Digitizing the Design of Masonry Structures. The material model represents the nonlinear behavior of the brick-mortar combination in the form of macro-modeling.
Add-On
The Nonlinear Material Behavior add-on allows you to consider material nonlinearities in RFEM for example, isotropic plastic, orthotropic plastic, isotropic damage).
Add-On
The Structure Stability add-on performs stability analysis of structures. It determines critical load factors and the corresponding stability modes.
Add-On
The Building Model add-on for RFEM allows you to define and manipulate a building using stories. The stories can be adjusted in many ways afterwards. The information about stories and the entire model (center of gravity) is displayed in tables and graphics.
