Structural Analysis and Design Software for Cranes and Craneways
Structural FEM Analysis and Design
The structural analysis software RFEM 6 is the basis of a modular program family. The RFEM main program 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.
Structural Frame & Truss Analysis Software
The structural frame analysis software RSTAB 9 has a similar range of functions as the FEA software RFEM. Due to the special attention to beam, frame, or truss structures, it is very easy to use and for many years, it has been the best choice for structural analysis and design of pure structural member models.
Wind Simulation and Wind Load Generation
The RWIND 2 stand-alone program is recommended 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 Cranes
The add-ons and add-on modules of the Steel Structures industry are suitable for structural analysis of cranes.
Design of Crane Runway Girders
The CRANEWAY stand-alone program allows for design of crane runway girders of bridge or suspension cranes according to EN 1993‑6.
Interfaces for Data Exchange
The structural analysis software provided by Dlubal Software can be integrated seamlessly into the Building Information Modeling (BIM) process. The large number of interfaces ensures the data exchange of digital building models with RFEM or RSTAB.
The web service (programmable interface) can be used to read or write data from/to RFEM and RSTAB.
Support and Learning
Customer service is a fundamental pillar of the Dlubal Software company philosophy. We provide any necessary support you need to complete your daily work.

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?
- Where is the fatigue design activated in the CRANEWAY program?
- In CRANEWAY, there is a crane library with templates. Why is it grayed out?
- How can I optimize the calculation time in CRANEWAY?
- Where can I find the determined support forces for the crane runway girder? At the bottom flange of the crane runway girder or in the shear center of the cross-section?
- Is it possible to manually adjust detail categories or a stress cycle of the detail categories?
- How can I obtain internal forces, calculated in CRANEWAY, for a special x-location?
- How can I consider a sway bracing in CRANEWAY?
- I am trying to manually check the deformations from the CRANEWAY add-on module. However, I obtain great deviations. How to explain the differences?
