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 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.
Just like in the Display navigator of RFEM, you can set the distribution of internal forces within surfaces also in RF‑STEEL Surfaces. Since the result of the FEM calculation is always deformations, the corresponding forces will be recalculated. It means that the internal forces on a FEM element are calculated depending on the composition (triangle or square) at three or four places.
