Powerful Features in RFEM 6

RFEM 6 offers numerous helpful features that assist you in the structural analysis and dynamic analysis of multi-story buildings.

Main Features in RFEM 6

Discover powerful tools that simplify modeling and analysis.

  • Wind Simulation (RFEM or RSTAB Environment)

    Discover the new features in RFEM and RSTAB for determining wind loads using RWIND:

    • Helpful Load Wizards for generating wind load cases with different flow fields in different wind directions
    • Wind load cases with freely assignable analysis settings, including user-defined specifications for wind tunnel size and wind profile
    • Comprehensive display of the wind tunnel with input wind profile and input wind turbulence intensity profile
    • Visualization and use of RWIND simulation results
    • Global definition of a terrain (horizontal planes, inclined plane, table)
  • Dlubal Center

    The Dlubal Center ensures that your designs are completed quickly and efficiently. Among other things, your projects and model files are managed in one central location. Detailed information and graphics facilitate the assignment of all models and allow for uncomplicated, clear order processing. In addition, the Dlubal Center organizes your customer data, including licensed programs, add-ons, and so on.

    More About Dlubal Center

  • Integration of All Add-ons

    Discover the advantages of working with the wide range of add-ons for RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9. All add-ons are integrated into the programs. This allows the individual program components to interact with each other and ensures that your calculations and design checks are carried out smoothly. Examples include the determination of the ideal tilting moment of timber beams using the “Warping Torsion (7 DOF)” add-on or the consideration of staggered shape finding processes using the “Construction Stages Analysis (CSA)” add-on.

Improved Printout Report

Discover the fundamentally revised and optimized printout report. It provides you with the following new features, among others:

  • Fast setup due to a non-modal printout report environment (parallel work in the program and report possible)
  • Interactive modification of chapters and creating of new user-defined chapters
  • Import of PDFs, formulas, 3D graphics, and so on
  • Output of the design check formulas used in the design (including a note on the equation used from the standard)
  • Modern report design

Modern, interactive printout report with flexible chapters and PDF import.

Output of Design Check Formulas

With Dlubal Software, you always have a clear overview, regardless of whether your projects are in the reinforced concrete, steel, timber, aluminum, and so on industries.

The program provides detailed and clear output of the design formulas used in your design (including a note on the equation used from the standard). You can also output these design check formulas in the printout report.

Go to Explanation Video

Automatic Import of Construction Site for Load Determination

Always keep an eye on the natural conditions of your building site by locating it on a digital map. This automatically transfers the address data (including altitude) as well as the Snow Load, Wind Speed, and Seismic Load Maps. The Load Wizard also uses this data.

The map with your building site marked is also displayed in the Base Data tab under “Model Parameters.”

What other features would you expect?

The RFEM 6 program is constantly being developed and new features are being added. Discover what else it can provide and take your projects to a new level!

Defining Member Representatives for Concrete Design

Member and Member Set Representatives

Define representatives for members with identical properties to easily display results in tables.

Unit Stresses of Steel Cross-Section

Cross-Section Unit Stresses

Make sure that nothing collapses: To enable you to estimate the load-bearing capacity of member cross-sections, display the unit stresses (related to N = 1 kN, My = 1 kNm, and so on).

Load Transfer Surface to Consider Wind Loads on Facade

Load Transfer Surface

Keep track of all surfaces. The surface with the "Load transfer" stiffness has no structural effect. It allows you to take into account loads from surfaces that were not modeled, such as facade structures, glass surfaces, trapezoidal roof sections, and so on.

Surface Contact

Surface Contact

Make your work easier. Surface contact is used to describe a contact property between two or more surfaces that are spaced apart. You no longer need to create a contact solid between the surfaces.

Snow Load Wizard

Extension of Snow and Wind Load Wizards

Discover the new features of the snow and wind load wizard: loading of hybrid models (RFEM only), connection to the Geo-Zone tool (depending on the construction site), and deactivation of surface sides.

Clipping Box

Clipping Box

Keep an eye on what is really relevant to your project. In addition to the clipping plane, you can now define a clipping box. This allows you to hide irrelevant objects around a focus point.
