3D FEA Software RFEM 6 | Calculation and Result Output

Select the individually suitable calculation parameters for your project: You can perform the calculation for all member types according to the linear static, second-order, or large deformation analysis. You have this selection option for load cases and load combinations. You can specifically set further calculation parameters for load cases, load combinations, and result combinations, which ensures a high degree of flexibility with regard to the calculation method and detailed specifications.

Convince yourself by the powerful calculation kernel, its optimized networking and support of multi-core processor technology. This provides you with the advantages, such as parallel calculations of linear load cases and load combinations using several processors without additional demands on the RAM. The stiffness matrix only has to be created once. Thus, you can calculate even large systems with the fast direct solver.
If you need to calculate multiple load combinations in your models, the program initiates several solvers in parallel (one per core). Each solver then calculates a load combination, which improves the core utilization.
You can systematically follow the development of the deformation displayed in a diagram during the calculation, and thus precisely evaluate the convergence behavior.

Customize the display of your data to your individual preferences. The result diagrams of members, surfaces (RFEM), and supports are freely configurable. You can define smooth ranges with average values or, if necessary, display and hide the result distributions. This ensures targeted evaluation of your results. Furthermore, you can easily add all diagrams to the printout report.

This feature also contributes to the clearly-arranged display of your results. Clipping planes are intersecting planes that you can place freely throughout the model. The zone in front of or behind the plane is consequently hidden in the display. This way, you can clearly and simply show the results in an intersection or a solid, for example.

With Dlubal Software, you always have an overview, regardless of whether your projects are from the reinforced concrete, steel, timber, aluminum, or other industry. The program clearly displays the design check formulas used in your design (including a reference to the used equation from the standard). These design check formulas can also be included in the printout report.

Use the mass print function for your model data, loads, and results. You can create graphics from different directions that you define. For example, you can print all internal forces as an isometric view with just a single mouse click.

You can export the printout report in RTF, PDF, or HTML format. RFT files can be imported into the MS Word word processing program, for example.
