Structural Analysis Software for Renewable Energy Structures

Structural Analysis Software for Renewable Energy Structures

Many Dlubal customers trust the reliable structural engineering programs RFEM and RSTAB when performing the structural analysis and design of renewable energy structures (solar power plants, photovoltaic plants, wind power plants, hydroelectric power plants, biogas plants, and so on).

Both programs provide you with useful features, for example, for the design of solar farms. Among other things, you can use the automatic load generation, creation of special profile cross-sections, connection to the COM interface, generation of load combinations to consider different inclination angles of solar cells, and many other features.

Structural FEM Analysis and Design

The successful structural analysis program RFEM 6 by Dlubal Software is the basis of a modular program family that you can customize and combine according to your precise requirements. In the main program RFEM, you can define structures, materials, and loads of planar and spatial structural systems consisting of plates, walls, shells, and members. Furthermore, you can create combined structures as well as model solid and contact elements.

Structural Frame & Truss Analysis Software

Use the Dlubal spatial frame & truss analysis software RSTAB 9 if you need a special solution tailored to beam, frame, and truss structures. Due to the special attention to such structures, it is even easier to use than the FEA software RFEM. This program has been the best choice for structural analysis and design of pure structural member models for many years.

Wind Simulation and Wind Load Generation

Do your structures have to withstand every gust of wind? Then it is best to use the Dlubal stand-alone program RWIND 2. It is particularly recommended for complex model shapes. There are wind flows around all structures simulated in a digital wind tunnel.

You can easily import your generated wind loads acting on these objects into RFEM or RSTAB. Thus, you can complete your project there.

Add-ons and Add-on Modules for Design of Renewable Energy Structures

For your structural analysis and design of renewable energy structures, we recommend you the add-ons and add-on modules of the Steel Structures industry. Such renewable energy structures are, for example, solar power plants, photovoltaic systems, wind power plants, hydroelectric power plants, or biogas plants. If you plan masts as a substructure for the renewable energy systems, we recommend you using the add-on modules of the Towers and Masts industry.

Interfaces for Data Exchange

The Dlubal structural analysis 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

Customer service is a fundamental pillar of the Dlubal Software company philosophy. We provide any necessary support you need to complete your daily work.
