    RSTAB 8 | Structural Frame & Truss Analysis Software

    RSTAB is the basis of a modular software system and allows for intuitive modeling of simple and complex structures due to its sophisticated input technology. The efficient RSTAB solver allows for linear and nonlinear calculations of internal forces, deformations, and support reactions.

    You can use various add-on modules available for structural design, considering both material- and standard-specific requirements. Due to the modular software system, you can combine various products of Dlubal Software in a program package that meets your individual needs. It is possible to upgrade the program at any time.

    The structural model is created in a graphical user interface characteristic of CAD programs, via tables, or a combination of both. Extensive shortcut menus facilitate the data input. Photorealistic visualization of the structural model always provides immediate control of the input.

    The user interface is intuitive to use. Therefore, the model and loading objects can be created in a minimal amount of time. Photorealistic visualization of the model in 3D rendering always provides immediate control of the input. You can also display or hide the guide objects individually.

    Wind Load Generation for Any Model Shape

    RWIND is a program (digital wind tunnel) for the numerical simulation of wind flows around any building geometry with determination of the wind loads on their surfaces. RWIND is available in a Basic and Pro version.

    RSTAB 8

    To model the bodies in RWIND Basic, you will find a special application in RSTAB. In this application, you define the wind directions to be analyzed using related angular positions around the vertical model axis.

    A digital wind tunnel program simulates wind flow on building geometries and determines wind loads on surfaces.

    RWIND 3

    RWIND is a program (digital wind tunnel) for the numerical simulation of wind flows around any building geometry with determination of the wind loads on their surfaces. RWIND is available in a Basic and Pro version.

    In RSTAB, you can automatically create load and result combinations according to Eurocode and other international standards in compliance with the corresponding combination expressions. In a clearly arranged window, it is possible to copy, add, or renumber load cases, for example. Furthermore, you can manage the load cases and combinations in Tables 2.1 – 2.6.
