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.
RFEM 5 is supported in parallel to RFEM 6 and will be maintained with further updates. These updates mainly include the correction of small program bugs as well as adjustments to changes in operating systems and graphics cards in order to maintain functionality. New features and further developments are implemented exclusively in the RFEM 6 software generation.
Support for RFEM 5 continues until further notice as long as there is a valid service contract for RFEM 5. In order to benefit from upgrade conditions, a valid service contract for RFEM 5 is also required.
Purchased RFEM 5 licenses can continue to be used in parallel with RFEM 6 even after a complete upgrade to RFEM 6.
Preparation
The complete dongle software package includes the driver, License Manager, and Admin Control Center (ACC). You can download it using the following links:
Installation Process
During the installation on the server, the license distribution service is installed - Sentinel LDK License Manager. This service is running on port 1947 and must be started.
IP Configuration
If the client does not find the server on the network automatically (for example, due to a different subnet or access via a VPN connection), it is necessary to manually specify the IP of the server on the client. This configuration can be set via Admin Control Center, which you can open on the client using the following link:http://localhost:1947
Enter the server IP under "Configuration → Access to Remote License Managers" and click [Submit] to confirm. You need to enter the IP address here, not the server name. Otherwise, the name resolution may not work.
This configuration is stored in the hasplm.ini file, which can be found on the client in the "C:\Programme (x86)\Common Files\Aladdin Shared\HASP" directory.
The network dongle should then be displayed at the free Port 1947 in Admin Control Center under "Sentinel Keys".
There are optional service contracts for the RFEM, RSTAB, and RX‑TIMBER program families.
Service contracts guarantee the maintenance of the product as well as the use of new features via provided updates. Furthermore, with an existing service contract, you will receive preferential conditions for future upgrades and hotline support via email.

To use the Help function, including the link to the corresponding manual chapter, the installation of Adobe© Reader is required in our programs. Links to other PDF programs are currently not possible.
The PDF files are located in the program directory of the application in the "Help" folder. There, you can open them with any PDF software. For RSTAB 8.18, the path of the default installation is as follows: C:\Programme\Dlubal\RSTAB 8.18\Help
