Concrete Structural Analysis & Design Software
3D Finite Element Analysis and Design
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, members (beams), solids and contact elements.
Analysis & Design of Frame/Beam/Truss Structures
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 analysis of reinforced concrete structures.
Wind Simulation & Wind Load Generation
Use the stand-alone program RWIND Simulation for complex structures. This program simulates wind flows around any structures by means of a digital wind tunnel.
The generated wind loads acting on these objects can be imported to RFEM or RSTAB.
Design of Reinforced Concrete Members and Surfaces
CONCRETE (for RSTAB) performs the necessary designs of members made of reinforced concrete.
RF-CONCRETE (for RFEM) designs surfaces in addition.
Design of Reinforced Concrete Columns
RF-/CONCRETE Columns performs the ultimate limit state design of rectangular and circular compression elements (beams) according to the model column method (method based on nominal curvature).
Nonlinear Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Structures
RF-CONCRETE NL performs physical (material) and geometrical nonlinear analysis of beam and plate structures consisting of reinforced concrete.
RF‑CONCRETE Deflect allows for analytical deformation analysis of plate structures made of reinforced concrete.
Punching Shear Design
RF-PUNCH Pro performs the design of punching shear resistance for singularly or linearly supported surfaces.
Reinforced Concrete Design According To Various Standards
The following module extensions perform reinforced concrete design according to various standards.
- EC 2 for RFEM/RSTAB (Eurocode 2 including numerous National Annexes)
- SIA 262 for RFEM/RSTAB (Swiss standard)
- ACI 318 for RFEM/RSTAB (American standard)
- CSA A23.3 for RFEM/RSTAB (Canadian standard)
- GB 50010 for RFEM/RSTAB (Chinese standard)
- DIN 1045‑1 for RFEM/RSTAB (German standard, old)
Reinforced Concrete Design of Foundations
RF-/FOUNDATION Pro performs the reinforced concrete design of single, bucket and block foundations for all support forces.

Bar Reinforcement Export to Revit
The reinforcement proposal from RF-/CONCRETE Members can be exported to Revit. The rectangular and circular cross-sections are currently supported.
The reinforcement bars can be modified retroactively in Revit.
