The building and construction industry is increasingly digitized. Structural engineers, a smaller group in the construction industry, are not always considered to be engineers who follow the latest trends immediately. There is often good reason for this. Many consider this to be the reason that topics such as utilizing the BIM method are not yet the standard in structural engineering. However, the past few years have shown that a process of rethinking has begun, and new digital trends are being picked up and applied.

The calculation of structures based on digital twins is becoming an everyday task in the engineering office. If a digital building model already exists, you want to continue to use the information contained in it as seamlessly as possible. This states extensive requirements with regard to modeling and interfaces for BIM-compatible structural analysis software.
Building Information Modeling is making headlines in building design. While some engineers only use BIM methods for planning, others are dealing with this topic for the first time or rarely have time for it in their daily working routine. However, one topic seems the most important in structural engineering: How can structural engineers benefit from BIM?
Daniel Dlubal's bachelor's thesis focuses on presenting and highlighting the chances, advantages, and opportunities of BIM when performing the structural analysis and design of buildings. The essential information of a structural analysis is shown and the data exchange between the CAD and the structural engineering software is explained in detail as well.
With the Camera Fly Mode view option, you can fly through your RFEM and RSTAB structure. Control the direction and speed of the flight with your keyboard. Additionally, you can save the flight through your structure as a video.
Use the "Independent mesh preferred" option in the FE mesh settings to create an independent FE mesh for the integrated objects. This allows you to generate a significantly more detailed and precise FE mesh for individual objects that are integrated into one another.
In the "Edit Section" dialog box, you can display the buckling shapes of the Finite Strip Method (FSM) as a 3D graphic.
In RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9, you have the option to enter "Visual Objects" as guide objects. You can import the file formats 3ds, stl, and obj.
These objects allow you to create a better reference to the dimensions.
I would like to test the "XY" add-on module. Could you please send me a trial version?
I would like to have an individual presentation of a program. What should I do?
What is the difference between network and single-user licenses?
My model is unstable. What could be the reason?
I would like to define a line support with ineffective tension and apply the tension force on this line using a nodal support instead. Why does the line support still receive a tension force?
I obtain different results when comparing the deformation analysis in the RF‑CONCRETE add-on modules and another calculation program. What could be the reason for this?
