The structural analysis software RFEM 6 is the basis of a modular software system. The main program RFEM 6 is used to define structures, materials, and loads of planar and spatial structural systems consisting of plates, walls, shells, and members. The program also allows you to create combined structures as well as to model solid and contact elements.
RSTAB 9 is a powerful analysis and design software for 3D beam, frame, or truss structure calculations, reflecting the current state of the art and helping structural engineers meet requirements in modern civil engineering.
Do you often spend too long calculating cross-sections? Dlubal Software and the RSECTION stand-alone program facilitate your work by determining section properties of various cross-sections and performing a subsequent stress analysis.
Do you always know where the wind is blowing from? From the direction of innovation, of course! With RWIND 2, you have a program at your side that uses a digital wind tunnel for the numerical simulation of wind flows. The program simulates these flows around any building geometry and determines the wind loads on the surfaces.
Are you looking for an overview of snow load zones, wind zones, and seismic zones? Then you are in the right place. Use the Geo-Zone Tool to determine quickly and efficiently snow loads, wind speeds, and seismic data according to ASCE 7‑16 and other international standards.
Would you like to try out the capabilities of the Dlubal Software programs? You have the opportunity to do so! The free 90-day full version allows you to thoroughly test all our programs.
Both RFEM and RSTAB are ideally suited for modeling and analysis of cable and tensile structures, including substructures. You can decide whether to consider the prestress of cables.
Main Programs RFEM and RSTAB
The main programs RFEM and RSTAB are used to define the model with its properties and actions. In addition to spatial frame and truss structures, you can also use RFEM to model plate, wall, and shell structures. Thus, RFEM proves to be the more versatile option.
Add-ons for Cable Structures
Various add-ons supplement the functionality of the main programs. In the design add-ons Steel Design and Aluminum Design, you can perform the ultimate and serviceability limit state design, as well as the stability analysis according to various standards.
The Form-Finding add-on for RFEM provides you with the option to perform form-finding for cable and membrane systems before the actual design.
In case of any questions about the Dlubal solution for cable and tensile structures, our sales team will be happy to assist you.
If line hinges are to be defined on several boundary lines of surfaces at the same time, the following procedure is recommended:
Update: It is not necessary to click the "+" sign. After selecting a surface and the corresponding lines, you can simply select the next surface and the corresponding lines, and so on.
