Knowledge Base Articles

KB 001880 | Design of Cable Structures in RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9

In this article, you will learn how to model and design cable structures in RFEM 6 or RSTAB 9.

KB 001879 | Influence of Bending Stiffness of Cables

This article describes and explains the influence of bending stiffness of cables on their internal forces. Furthermore, the text provides information on how this influence can be reduced.

KB 001877 | ASCE 7-22 and NBC 2020 Seismic P-Delta Considerations in RFEM 6

The ASCE 7-22 Standard [1], Sect. 12.9.1.6 specifies when P-delta effects should be considered when running a modal response spectrum analysis for seismic design. In the NBC 2020 [2], Sent. 4.1.8.3.8.c gives only a short requirement that sway effects due to the interaction of gravity loads with the deformed structure should be considered. Therefore, there may be situations where second-order effects, also known as P-delta, must be considered when carrying out a seismic analysis.

This article presents the basic concepts in structural dynamics and their role in the seismic design of structures. Great emphasis is given to explaining the technical aspects in an understandable way, so that readers without deep technical knowledge can gain an insight into the subject.

Product Features

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.

Feature 002807 | 3D Display of FSM Results

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.

Feature 002801 | Punching Shear Design for All Section Shapes

Do you have individual column sections and angled wall geometries, and need punching shear design for them?

No problem. In RFEM 6, you can perform punching shear design not only for rectangular and circular sections, but for any cross-section shape.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Which Dlubal software products do you recommend for the structural analysis and design of timber structures in particular?

How do I reset the display settings to default?

Why are the maximum deformations not displayed?

What is the difference between the RANS, URANS, and DDES turbulence models?

When performing steel design in RFEM 6 or RSTAB 9, I get a warning that the torsion is neglected in the stability design checks. What is the reason for this, and how can I get around the warning message?

How many updates does Dlubal provide for RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9 each month?
