Design in RSTAB 9

In the Stress-Strain Analysis add-on, you can perform a general stress analysis. The program helps you to calculate the existing stresses and compare them with the limit stresses. During the stress analysis, you can determine the maximum stresses of members and member sets. The program documents the governing internal forces for each member. Furthermore, you have the option of an automatic cross-section optimization, including the export of the modified sections to RSTAB.

The results are clearly displayed in tables and graphics, where it is possible to relate the design ratios to different stress types.

Reinforced concrete is one of the most popular building materials. The Concrete Design add-on allows you to perform the ultimate and serviceability limit state design of concrete members and member sets. The software features automatic transfer of internal forces, flexible calculation parameters, and clear result display. For member design, it allows you, among other things, to determine the reinforcement and conside the deformations in the cracked state (state II).

The input process is efficient due to the predefined settings and the [Select] function for the graphical selection. After completing the design, the program provides a transparent and clear display of the results and design checks.

The "Steel Design" add-on for RSTAB 9 provides extensive functions for the design of steel structures. Including wide range of available sections, it facilitates the cross-section resistance design and stability analysis of steel structural components. Users can benefit from full integration in RSTAB, which allows for efficient input and result evaluation.

The structural analysis software supports the design of tension, compression, bending, and other loads, as well as a stability analysis, including flexural and torsional buckling. The integration into the main programs and the extensive material and cross-section libraries guarantee a smooth workflow. Successful design checks are displayed in a clear and comprehensible manner, all data are part of the RSTAB printout report, and the depth of the results output can be adjusted individually.

Do you perform timber design? Then the Timber Design add-on is perfect for you! The software is completely integrated into RSTAB, which allows for direct editing and evaluation of results in the general program environment. Provided with extensive cross-section libraries and detailed calculation options, the add-on is a flexible and user-friendly application for the design of timber structures, including complex cross-sections and structural members subjected to various loads.

Stability analysis, such as flexural buckling and lateral-torsional buckling, is fully supported with the user-defined or standard-based analysis methods. The program operation is intuitive, with a graphical user interface and a [Select] function for the selection of design elements, thus facilitating the input. After a successful design process, the program provides a transparent result output, that allows you to trace and check the design and calculation details, so the results do not seem as a "black box".

Are you working with aluminum? We recommend you the Aluminum Design add-on. It allows you to perform cross-section resistance design and stability analysis of aluminum member structures in the ultimate limit state. It provides integrated solutions for the strength and stability analysis of aluminum members according to Eurocode 9 and ADM 2020.

Including an intuitive user interface, extensive cross-section libraries, and detailed result documentation, it ensures a seamless workflow from the input to the design verification, without the complexity of additional windows or commands. The add-on facilitates the construction process from the classification and stability analysis to the final presentation of the verifiable results – all within the usual RSTAB environment.
