KB 001880 | Design of Cable Structures in RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9
In this article, you will learn how to model and design cable structures in RFEM 6 or RSTAB 9.
KB 001879 | Influence of Bending Stiffness of Cables
This article describes and explains the influence of bending stiffness of cables on their internal forces. Furthermore, the text provides information on how this influence can be reduced.
Building Overview (KB1866)
To evaluate whether it is also necessary to consider the second-order analysis in a dynamic calculation, the sensitivity coefficient of interstory drift θ is provided in EN 1998‑1, Sections 2.2.2 and 4.4.2.2. It can be calculated and analyzed using RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9.
Reduction of Building to Cantilever Structure The individual mass points represent stories. The deflection due to the normal compression forces shown in (a) is (b) converted into equivalent moments of displacement or shear forces (KB1867)
For the ultimate limit state design, EN 1998‑1, Sections 2.2.2 and 4.4.2.2 require a calculation considering the second‑order theory (P‑Δ effect). This effect may be neglected only if the interstory drift sensitivity coefficient θ is less than 0.1.

Product Features
Feature 002823 | Generate Bracing in Cells

The "Bracing in Cells" function allows you to generate diagonal bracing with just a few clicks. You can find this feature under Tools → Generate Model – Members → Bracing in Cells.

Feature 002819 | Flow Field Quantities

In RFEM and RSTAB, you can visualize the flow field quantities of pressure, velocity, turbulence kinetic energy, and turbulence dissipation rate for the wind simulation.

The clipping planes are aligned with the respective wind direction.
