Installing Updates
When updating within a version series (for example RFEM 5.01 .01 to 5.01 .02), the old program files are removed and replaced by new ones. The project data of course remains unchanged. When updating to the next version series (for example RFEM 5.02 .01), the new version is installed in parallel. The program files are located in different directories, so the previous version is still available.Screenshots

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- How can I get the member end forces to design the connections?
- I cannot manage to correctly import the cross-section from a dxf file into the SHAPE‑THIN program, the imported cross-section is in a wrong plane. What can I do?
- I would like to calculate and design "temporary structures." What do I need for this?
- I have installed Rhino 7. When trying to export the model to RFEM, the data are not transferred. What do I wrong?
- How can I find out in which version of RFEM/RSTAB was the model saved?
- I cannot activate an add-on module by using a Remote Desktop. Can you explain the error message to me?
- I design timber components. The deformations of load combinations deviate from the manual calculation exactly by the factor of the material partial safety factor. Why?
- I often edit the reinforcement provided by the program. Adjusting the reinforcement by using coordinates takes much effort and time if having several beams in the model. Is there any way to speed up the reinforcement editing?
- How do I display the load combination description according to an action category, such as "D, L, W," instead of "LC1, LC2, LC3"?
- How can I edit the list of parameters by using the COM interface?
