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.
Structural frame analysis and design software RSTAB determines internal forces, deformations and support reactions. For subsequent design, the add‑on modules are available considering structural conditions of specific materials and standards. Due to the modular concept of the software, you can combine the programs to meet your individual requirements.
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.
For structural analysis and design of renewable energy structures (for example solar power plants, photovoltaic plants, wind power plants, hydroelectric power plants, biogas plants), find more useful add-on modules under the Steel Structures industry.
If there are masts used as a substructure for the renewable energy structures, we recommend the add-on modules of the Towers and Masts industry.
In the Chinese province of Qinghai, near the city of Haixi, a complex of 23 multi-energy plants is being built, combining different technologies to generate energy from renewable resources. The complex includes a 188.5 m high tower of a 50 MW solar power plant whose support structure is expected to be completed in mid-2019.
With its energy-efficient solar-powered house, the student team of the Czech Technical University (CTU) in Prague achieved an outstanding 3rd place at the Solar Decathlon, an engineering competition organized by the U.S. Department of Energy.
One of the most modern power stations for energy production based on renewable resources can be found in Schwendi, Southern Germany.
Following the design of the Milan architect Matteo Thun, an architecturally sophisticated framework consisting of reinforced concrete, steel and timber has been created.
Within the P3 Project "Tower Constructions", students of Dortmund University in Germany designed and analyzed a solar chimney power plant.
The solar chimney is a type of the solar updraft tower (SUT), a renewable-energy power plant that generates electricity from low temperature solar heat.

If the check box "Number of load increments" is deactivated, the number of load increments will be determined automatically in RFEM to solve nonlinear tasks efficiently.
The used method is based on a heuristic algorithm.
