Analysis & Design Software for Cranes and Craneways
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 and members. The program also allows you to create combined structures as well as model solid 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 beam, frame and truss structures. Therefore, it is very easy to use and for many years it has been the best choice for structural analysis.
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.
Structural Analysis and Design of Cranes
The add-on modules of the Steel Structures industry are suitable for structural analysis of cranes.
Structural Design of Crane Girders
CRANEWAY designs runway girders of bridge and suspension cranes according to EN 1993‑6.
Interfaces for Data Exchange
The structural analysis software provided by Dlubal can be seamlessly integrated into the Building Information Modeling (BIM) process. A variety of interfaces allows you to exchange data from digital building models with RFEM or RSTAB.

Design for the Lower Flange of Suspension Cranes According to DIN EN 1993-6
For suspension cranes, the bottom chord of the runway girder is subjected to local flange bending due to the wheel loads in addition to the main load bearing capacity. The bottom chord behaves like a slab due to these local bending stresses and has a biaxial stress condition [1].
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.

Is it possible to specify user-defined distances of stiffeners for the individual fields of a craneway girder?
- Is it possible to reduce dynamic coefficients when using DIN EN 1993-6?
- I am trying to manually check the deformations from the CRANEWAY add-on module. However, I obtain great deviations. How to explain the differences?
- How can I model and design a crane runway girder with Dlubal Software?
- How can I create a drilled beam in RFEM?
- Is it possible to design intermittent welds in the CRANEWAY add-on module?
- Is the load on beams correct when transferring the data of the crane data sheet to CRANEWAY with the correct sign?
- Where can I find the action category for cranes in my load cases?
- How can I display shear stresses on null elements in SHAPE‑THIN?
- Is it necessary to enter the loads of a crane for each axle or wheel in the table of crane loads in Window 1.4?
