Structural engineering FEA software RFEM is the basis of a modular software system. RFEM is used to define structures, materials, and loads for planar and spatial structural systems consisting of plates, walls, shells and members. The program also allows you to create combined structures as well as model solid and contact elements.
Structural frame analysis and design software RSTAB contains a similar range of functions as RFEM, with special attention to frame and beam structures. Therefore, it is very easy to use and for many years it has been the best choice for structural analyses.
For design of various materials such as reinforced and prestressed concrete, steel, aluminium, timber, and glass, there is a wide range of powerful add‑modules available for the main program RFEM/RSTAB.
These modules allow you to perform nonlinear, stability and dynamic analyses as well as joint designs and form‑finding processes for cable and membrane structures.
RF‑PIPING Design compares the existing pipe stresses with the allowable stresses according to EN 13480‑3, ASME B31.1, and ASME B31.3.
Design in RF‑PIPING Design is based on pipeline modeling in RF‑PIPING.
A new research station of the Indian Ministry for Earth Sciences was built in East Antarctica.
The complex structural system consists of an enveloping steel structure and a total of 134 special containers. The station is exposed to extreme wind loading and heavy snow drifts.
The temporary structure of a steel maze was created to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the arts center C‑Mine in Genk (Belgium) which is located at the former coal mine of Winterslag.
It took almost one month to install the steel structure at the arts center on an area of 1,400 m2.
A glass pedestrian bridge with a length of 30 m connects the St. Michael hospital with the research center Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute.
The supporting structure consists of several oval steel rings which are twisted together.
The Pippi Longstocking's house called ‘Vechthoeve’ close to Amsterdam had to be relocated to a new location.
In order to adequately support the building during the transportation phase, a completely new foundation was made.
The New Candlewood Suites on Redstone Arsenal in Alabama, USA, is the first cross‑laminated timber (CLT) hotel constructed in the US.
This four story building, made of 1,782 m3 of CLT and 366 m3 of glulam material, serves the lodging needs of the Redstone Arsenal Army post.
The Metropol Parasol is a hybrid structure consisting of timber, concrete, steel and composite steel.
The most interesting and impressive part of the building is the accessible timber roof structure consisting of multi-layer glued timber panels of the LVL type Kerto‑Q.
The steel structure of a sluice with flap gate is a part of the new Niederfinow boat lift on the canal Oder-Havel in Germany.
It was built due to the increasing traffic as the original structure of the oldest working boat lift in Germany was running near to its capacity.
The project for designing a filter/dryer device including agitator required a complete stress and deformation analysis in RFEM.
A special design challenge represented the complex modeling of the structue having 1,424 surfaces, 158 solids and 425 members.
In RF-STEEL Surfaces, it is possible to display the stresses relevant for the design of welds according to EN 1993‑1‑8, Figure 4.5, for example. When evaluating the stress ratio, the local axis system xyz of surfaces has to be taken into account.
