Mechanical Engineering FEM Analysis & Design Software
Structural and Dynamic Analysis According to Finite Element Method (FEM)
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 to 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 the structural analysis and design of pure structural member models.
Stress Analysis of Member and Surface Structures
The Stress-Strain Analysis add-on for RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9 performs a general stress analysis by calculating the existing stresses and comparing them with the limit stresses.
Pipelines
RFEM 5 allows for the modeling, structural and dynamic analysis, and design of piping systems (including piping components such as valves, reducers, flanges, tees, and others).

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.
Further Information
Models to Download
When considering non-standardized joints or when taking a closer look at the joint and its behavior, we recommend using a surface model. The following article will show how this kind of model is created.
- What is the best way to model two welded members that lie parallel to each other?
- Which explicit method is used in the RF‑DYNAM Pro – Nonlinear Time History add-on module?
- How can I change the parameters of a rolled cross-section from the cross-section library?
- How do I divide a surface in RFEM?
- I want to create a mapped mesh for a circular hole plate. Is it possible to generate such a mesh in RFEM?
- Is it possible to set user-defined values when viewing solid stress results?
- How can I create a drilled beam in RFEM?
- How can I additionally model welds for the connection of two surfaces with a contact solid?
- I would like to use surface releases to model a bolt connection that can only absorb compressive stresses from the support. Unfortunately, I cannot do this because my model is always unstable. Is there a template model?
- I have calculated a box girder. Which surface results or surface stresses can I use to evaluate the buckling behavior of the web plates?
