3D Software Based on CAD Interface

One of the best things about the Dlubal programs is that they're so easy to use. RFEM 6 is no exception! You can create your structure in a CAD-like user interface or using clear tables. By right-clicking the graphical or navigator objects, a shortcut menu appears, allowing you to easily create or edit the objects.

Your browser does not support the video tag.
Free Structural Analysis Software for Students Free Structural Analysis Software for Students
Navigator RFEM 6
Navigator

Keep track of your results and customize model settings. In the tree structure, you can easily find internal forces, deformations, stresses, and other essential results.

Table

The table displays the numerical results of your structural analysis for individual load cases and their combinations. With the clear graphical interface, you can easily determine if your design meets the requirements. All data can also be easily imported into the printout report for further presentation or documentation.

Model

This is where it all happens! Thanks to advanced antialiasing, models in RFEM 6 excel with top-notch graphics, which makes them perfect for presentations. You can immediately see the results of your structural analysis in the model, such as internal forces on beams. You can easily manipulate the model, perform 3D sections, and gain a better understanding of the structure's behavior.

Toolbar

Similar to CAD systems, RFEM 6 offers a toolbar that guides you through the modeling and analysis process. You can use it to easily add loads and supports, or quickly model the basic parts of your structure.

Thousands of Models to Download

Our extensive library of ready-to-use models is waiting for you to explore! Download, customize, and apply our professional models in practice, available for free and ready to use right away.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is eligible for the student license?

The student license is available to any student pursuing a technical field, primarily in structural engineering and related disciplines. To obtain the license, students must provide a valid enrollment certificate from their educational institution. The license is valid for one year, with the possibility of extension upon providing updated proof of enrollment.

Does the student license provide full software access?

Yes, students enrolled in structural engineering or related fields at technical colleges or universities can borrow Dlubal's full software (excluding RWIND Simulation and SHAPE‑MASSIVE) for one year. This license is extendable with proof of enrollment and is intended for non-commercial use. Additionally, email technical support is included.

Another key advantage is that models created using the student license are fully compatible with the commercial version of Dlubal software, allowing easy sharing and collaboration with others, such as sending your models to teachers for review. On the other hand, projects made with the student license cannot be used for commercial purposes under any circumstances.

Furthermore, unlike some other software, Dlubal does not place a watermark on printout reports generated using the student version.
