The structural engineering programs RSTAB and RFEM are ideal for designing and analyzing 2D or 3D timber structures such as beams, continuous beams, frames, truss girders, glulam trusses, timber sandwich plates, timber panel walls, timber frame houses, bridges, towers, and more.
Whether you design beam structures or surface elements such as cross-laminated timber plates (CLT), there are various options for simple and complex structures.
Product Feature
Knowledge Base
Using the "Beam Panel" thickness type, you can model timber panel elements in 3D space. You just specify the surface geometry and the timber panel elements are generated using an internal member-surface construct, including the simulation of the connection flexibility.
You have the option to perform the fire resistance design of surfaces using the reduced cross-section method. The reduction is applied over the surface thickness. It is possible to perform the design checks for all timber materials allowed for the design.
For cross-laminated timber, depending on the type of adhesive, you can select whether it is possible for individual carbonized layer parts to fall off, and whether you can expect increased charring in certain layer areas.

Among others, the following cross-laminated timber manufacturers are available in the layer structure library:
By importing a structure from the layer structure library, all relevant parameters are adopted automatically. The library is continually updated.
