Analysis & Design Software for Renewable Energy Structures
3D Finite Element Analysis and Design
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.
Analysis & Design of Frame/Beam/Truss Structures
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.
Wind Simulation & Wind Load Generation
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.
Add-on Modules for Renewable Energy Structure Designs
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.
Interfaces for Data Exchange
The structural analysis software provided by Dlubal can be seamlessly integrated into the Building Information Modeling (BIM) process. A variety of interfaces allows you to exchange data from digital building models with RFEM or RSTAB.

Entering Lateral Supports and Their Effects in RF-/STEEL EC3
When designing steel columns or steel beams, it is usually necessary to carry out cross-section and stability analyses. In most cases, cross-section design can be carried out without giving further details; the stability design, however, needs additional user-defined specifications.
Automatic Determination of Number of Load Increments
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.
