Wind Simulation & Wind Load Generation

With the stand-alone program RWIND Simulation, wind flows around simple or complex structures can be simulated by means of a digital wind tunnel.
The generated wind loads acting on these objects can be imported to RFEM or RSTAB.
The search function, based on Google maps, establishes the corresponding location to determine the following:
- Snow:
- Snow load zone
- Snow load sk - Wind:
- Wind zone
- Basic wind velocity vb,0
- Basic velocity pressure qb - Seismic:
- Seismic zone
- Peak ground acceleration agR
- Subsoil class, etc.
Although data can be manually transferred to external programs, an additional web application is available for automated data transfer.
The Geo-Zone Tool operates with map data services provided by Google LLC. These Google services are not provided free of charge which requires all users to assume this financial responsibility.
For additional map use, purchase a Geo-Zone Tool package in the Dlubal Webshop:

Nonlinear Material Law for Membranes
In RFEM, there is an option to couple surfaces with the stiffness types "Membrane" and "Membrane Orthotropic" with the material models "Isotropic Nonlinear Elastic 2D/3D" and "Isotropic Plastic 2D/3D" (RF-MAT NL add-on module required).
This functionality enables the simulation of the nonlinear strain behavior of, for example, ETFE foils.
