Structural Frame & Truss Analysis Program RSTAB | Load Generation
Quick and Easy Generation of Loads
Further Information
The Best Structural Modeling Program
"We are dealing with Structural and Seismic Engineering since 1998. Dlubal Software is, in our experience, the best structural modeling program on the market. We recommend it to all those who need to deal with special and daily cases."

As a standard feature, RSTAB includes helpful tools for generating wind, snow and ice loads and other loads, as well as for converting surface loads into member loads.
Snow Load Generator
Snow loads can be generated as member loads on flat/monopitch roofs and duopitch roofs.
Additional snow loads such as drifted snow loads, snow overhangs, and snow guards can be taken into account as well.
The following standards are available:
1991-1-3 (incl. National Annexes)
DIN 1055-5
CTE DB-SE-AE
ASCE/SEI 7-16
Wind Load Generator
Wind loads can be automatically generated as member loads on the following structural components (optional with internal pressure for open buildings):
- Vertical walls
- Flat roofs
- Monopitch roofs
- Duopitch/Troughed roofs
- Vertical walls with roof
The following standards are available:
1991-1-4 (including National Annexes)
DIN 1055-4
CTE DB-SE-AE
ASCE/SEI 7-16
Generating Member Loads from Area Loads
Area loads can be automatically converted into member loads. There are 2 options available for this:
- Member loads from area loads via plane
- Member loads from area loads via cells
Depending on the selected option, you either have to define a plane via corner nodes or select cells in the graphic. The area load can either be applied to the entire surface or only the effective or projected surface of the members.
Generating Member Loads from Free Line Loads
With this generator, you can define free line loads, for example, for girder grillages (from conveyor belts, for example) and proportionally allocate them to members.
Generating Member Loads from Coating
Coating loads can be generated as member loads from ice loads, claddings, and so on.
For this, you only have to specify the thickness and specific weight of the coating.
Generating Loads from Accelerated Motion
This generator creates loads as a result of an acceleration or rotation (from tower cranes, for example), which acts on specific objects of the model.
The mass is determined from the self-weight.

“I really enjoy working with Dlubal Software programs. The structure generation and modification can proceed smoothly:
- Manageability of functions in the menu and movability in space
- Data transparency: checks, options to modify and transfer data
I am happy that I switched over to Dlubal Software!”

Create 3D glTF Models (*.glb and *.glTF Formats)
RFEM and RSTAB models can be saved as 3D glTF models (*.glb and *.glTF formats). View the models in 3D in detail with a 3D viewer from Google or Baylon. Take your VR glasses, such as Oculus, to "walk" through the structure.
You can integrate the 3D glTF models into your own websites using JavaScript according to these instructions (as on the Dlubal website Models to Download).
