Generation of Wind Loads Based on CFD for any Type of Structure
RWIND 2 is a program (digital wind tunnel) for the numerical simulation of wind flows around any building geometries with determination of the wind loads on their surfaces. It can be used as a stand-alone application or used together with RFEM and RSTAB for complete structural analysis and design.
Form-Finding of Membrane Structures
The Form-Finding add-on finds the optimal shape of members subjected to axial forces and tension-loaded surface models. The shape is determined by the equilibrium between the member axial force or the membrane stress and the existing boundary conditions.
Open BIM Structural Analysis Software
The structural analysis software provided by Dlubal Software can be integrated seamlessly into the Building Information Modeling (BIM) process. The large number of interfaces allows you to exchange the data of digital building models with RFEM or RSTAB. Use the Webservice (a programmable interface) to read or write the data from or to RFEM and RSTAB.
Support and Learning
We provide professional support and many services in order to help you with finding a quick and efficient solution for your projects.

You can use the "Dashpot" member type to define a damping coefficient, a spring constant, and a mass. This type of member expands the possibilities within the time history analysis.
With regard to viscoelasticity, the member type "Dashpot" is similar to the Kelvin-Voigt model, which consists of the damping element and an elastic spring (both connected in parallel).
For calculation diagrams, the "2D | Hinge" is available. These hinge diagrams show the hinge response of load situations for nonlinear hinges.
For calculations with several load situations, such as is the case with pushover analyzes and time history analysis, you can evaluate the state of the hinge in each load step.
For line support results, you can optionally display certain additional information in info bubbles, such as description, sum, mean value, and so on.
If necessary, you can activate the info bubbles in the Navigator – Results.
In the Modal Analysis add-on, you have the option to automatically increase the sought eigenvalues until reaching a defined effective modal mass factor. All translational directions activated as masses for the modal analysis are taken into account.
Thus, it is possible to easily calculate the required 90% of the effective modal mass for the response spectrum method.
