For a project in Rotterdam, ADS Ertner used IDEA CONNECTION to analyze a structural steel connection. This program calculates steel connections utilizing the CBFEM method, where each thin-walled cross-section is modeled with nonlinear material properties, nonlinear bolts, and nonlinear welds. In order to transfer loads, ADS Ertner needed to use blocks in the connection model. In IDEA CONNECTION, blocks are not easily integrated with thin-walled plates.
The production unit of the company ARLANXEO Emulsion Rubber France, located in La Wantzenau, France, is one of the biggest producers of NBR (nitrile butadiene rubber) synthetic rubber in the world. Nitrile rubber is resistant to oil and is used for manufacturing cables, gaskets, hoses, brake pads, and safety boots, among other things.
In 2013, a very special project was carried out in Pitigala, Sri Lanka. A bridge was designed, calculated, and built by 30 students.

The new ice hockey arena in the Czech town of Jičín replaces the old, outdated outdoor stadium. Not only does the arena serve as a venue for the local ice hockey team, but it also opens its doors to schools and the community.
WIEHAG GmbH, a customer of Dlubal Software, used RSTAB to calculate the impressive, column‑free roof structure consisting of truss girders made of glued-laminated timber. Moreover, WIEHAG was responsible for the production and construction of the roof structure.
The structure of the steel hall for a swimming pool at Therme Meran spa consists of rigid rectangular hollow section columns bearing a roof structure rigid in two directions. The model was calculated according to the second-order analysis, considering inclination and precamber.
