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.
Yes, the "Clipping Plane" function allows you to do this. A clipping plane can be defined using the menu "Insert" → "Help Objects" → "Clipping Planes" or the Data navigator → "Guide Objects" → "Clipping Planes".Use the shortcut menu (right-click) to activate and deactivate the clipping plane and to open the dialog box for editing the parameters; see the image below.
In the case of solids or other more complex models in particular, it is useful to create clipping planes in order to get more detailed insight into the results.For documentation purposes, the view of a clipping plane can be transferred to the report by clicking the "Print to Printer" button.
Yes, this is possible using the clipping box. It can be defined either via the "Insert" menu bar or the Data navigator under Guide Objects (right-click/double-click the clipping box); see the image.
In the "New Clipping Box" or "Edit Clipping Box" dialog box, you can define the origin, dimensions, and reference coordinate system.Of course, you can also define any number of clipping boxes. These are then listed. To activate a clipping box, click the "OK and Set Active" button in the dialog box, or use the shortcut menu: Right-click the clipping box in the Data navigator → Clipping Box on/off.Only one clipping box can be active.
It is possible to define a section through a solid. This way, you can display the deformation and stress diagrams in the sectional area.
As an alternative, you can use the "Clipping Plane" function to display the sectional area through a solid.
You can define a virtual plane displaying everything in front of or behind the plane. You can find this function in the menu "Insert" → "Clipping Plane". The clipping plane can be moved or rotated gradually.
In RFEM and RSTAB, you can insert external images into the printout report.
To do this, you need to copy the image to the Clipboard using Ctrl+C. Click "Insert" → "Image from Clipboard" in the printout report menu to insert the image into the printout report.
This image appears as a separate section at the end of the printout report and you can move it to any position using the drag-and-drop function.
This feature also allows you to print a clipping plane in the printout report. To do this, take a screenshot of the clipping plane and copy it to the clipboard.
