Frame Analysis Software RSTAB 9 | User Interface
Editable GUI for Individual Adjustment
The model is created in a graphical user interface characteristic for CAD programs, via tables, or a combination of both. Extensive shortcut menus facilitate the input. Since the structural model is visualised photorealistically, you can directly check the entered data.
Intuitive User Interface
Models are created in the graphical user interface typical for CAD programs. Right-clicking on graphical or navigator objects opens the shortcut menu, which facilitates creating or editing such objects.
The user interface is intuitive to use. Structural and loading objects can therefore be created in a minimal amount of time.
Multilingual User Interface
It is possible to operate the program in the following languages: German, English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Czech, Polish, Russian, Chinese, and Dutch.
Photorealistic Rendering
The photorealistic rendering of the model (optionally with textures) always provides immediate control of the input. Display colors can be freely adjusted and saved separately for screen and printout.
Display Properties
It is possible to assign different colors to various objects of a structure in order to make the rendering display of the structure more clearly arranged.
A distinction is made between the various object properties of nodes, lines, members, member sets, surfaces, and solids. Moreover, the model can be displayed in photorealistic rendering.
Displaying and Hiding Objects
It is possible to selectively display or hide various objects such as nodes, members, supports, and others. The model can be dimensioned by using lines, arcs, inclinations, or height elevations. Freely created guidelines, sections, and comments facilitate the input and evaluation. You can also display or hide the guide objects individually.
Global Unit Settings
A global dialog box manages the units for input data, loads, and results in RFEM/RSTAB, as well as in all add-ons.
You can save the settings and import them again later on. That way, you can use different sections in steel and reinforced concrete structures, for example.
