Analysis & Design Software for Hydraulic Steel Engineering
3D Finite Element Analysis and Design
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.
Stress Analysis of Beam and Plate Structures
RF-/STEEL performs general stress designs by calculating the existing stresses and comparing the results with limit stresses.

Calculation of Stiffened Buckling Panels According to EN 1993-1-5, 4.5
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.
- How can I perform a buckling analysis for a surface in RFEM?
- How to activate or start the module RF- / STEEL Wölbkrafttorsion?
- Are the Dlubal Software programs suitable for the analysis and design of hydraulic steel structures?
- Why are there different equivalent stresses in RFEM and RF‑STEEL, although the same CO is considered?
- What is the effect of the "Without membrane tension" stiffness type in surface properties?
- I use rotated surfaces in my model. Now it takes a long time to open and edit the file. What can I do about it?
- Can I use surface releases to separate two overlapping surfaces?
- I have calculated a box beam. Which surface results or surface stresses can I use to evaluate the buckling behavior of the web plates?
