for Application Areas
These application areas demonstrate Dlubal Software's commitment to providing versatile and reliable solutions for structural engineers, enhancing efficiency and accuracy in the design and analysis of various structures.
Types of Application Areas
Wind Simulation & Wind Load Generation
Dlubal's RWIND 3 software utilizes computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to simulate wind flows around structures, enabling precise wind load generation for both simple and complex geometries.
Dynamic and Seismic Analysis
The dynamic and seismic analysis tools integrated in RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9 offer engineers advanced capabilities to model and evaluate structures under dynamic loads, including seismic forces, using specialized add-ons.
Form-Finding and Cutting Patterns of Membrane Structures
RFEM 6, enhanced with the FORM-FINDING and CUTTING-PATTERN add-ons, enables engineers to determine optimal prestressed shapes for membrane and cable structures and generate precise cutting patterns.
Steel Joints
The Steel Joints add-on enables precise analysis and design of steel connections—including bolted, welded, and base plate types—by automatically generating finite element models and conducting detailed checks according to standards such as EN 1993-1-8 and AISC 360, all within a unified interface.
Soil-Structure Interaction
Dlubal's RFEM 6, enhanced with the Geotechnical Analysis add-on, enables engineers to realistically model soil-structure interactions by defining soil layers from borehole data, simulating nonlinear soil behavior, and evaluating foundation performance under various loading conditions.
Foundations and Foundation Engineering
The Concrete Foundations and Geotechnical Analysis add-ons offer engineers comprehensive tools for designing reinforced and unreinforced foundation plates as well as bucket and block foundations, while accurately modeling soil-structure interactions based on real-world geotechnical data.
