Structural engineering FEA software RFEM is the basis of a modular software system. The main program 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.
RF-/STEEL performs general stress designs by calculating the existing stresses and comparing the results with limit stresses.

The steel structure of a sluice with flap gate is a part of the new Niederfinow boat lift on the east end of the Oder-Havel canal 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.

In SHAPE-THIN 8, the effective cross-section of stiffened buckling panels can be calculated according to EN 1993-1-5, Cl. 4.5.
The critical buckling stress is calculated according to EN 1993-1-5, Annex A.1 for buckling panels with at least 3 longitudinal stiffeners or according to EN 1993-1-5, Annex A.2 for buckling panels with one or two stiffeners in the compression zone. The design for torsional buckling safety is also performed.
