Answer:
RSTAB is a 3D structural frame & truss analysis program that allows for the design of spatial and planar beam structures. The efficient RSTAB solver allows for linear and nonlinear calculations of internal forces, deformations, and support reactions. With RFEM, you extend the member design by plates, shells, and solids according to the Finite Element Method. These elements can be combined arbitrarily in a structure. RFEM contains almost all the functions from RSTAB; that is why pure frameworks can also be designed with it.
The user interface and the handling of RSTAB and RFEM are almost identical, but RFEM offers more functions due to the greater scope of the program. The import of structure and load data from RSTAB to RFEM and vice versa are possible as long as the objects are supported by both programs.
Various add-on modules are available for structural design in RSTAB and RFEM, considering both material and standard-specific requirements. Due to the modular software system, you can combine various products of Dlubal Software in a program package that meets your individual needs. It is possible to upgrade the program at any time.
