RFEM 6 was completely rewritten using the modern Qt framework in the C++ programming language. Graphics and the overall GUI is greatly improved including a quicker and more reliable printout report. Cloud-based licensing is also used allowing multiple users within the same company to share licenses on different computers.
Perhaps the biggest change between program generations is the add-on modules are now integrated directly in the main program renamed as “add-ons”. This means that information such as unbraced lengths, reinforcement layout, etc. will be defined directly in RFEM 6. Design ratios will then be provided within the main program rather than what used to be a separate add-on module dialog box.
Complete design equations are now provided for each standard and material so users have a clear and traceable understanding of the results.
Although some new program concepts will require a different workflow for those used to RFEM 5, we’re confident these changes will lead to more efficient and complete model designs. Check out a more complete list of new features with the link listed below.
