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.
The problem is minimal inaccuracies in both models. If the support reactions are transferred from one model to another, they are exported as "free loads" with fixed coordinates. If the coordinates do not match 100%, it may happen in edge areas that the support reactions are not considered if the corresponding objects are located slightly shifted next to the surface. The geometric relations can be quickly checked by displaying the "Full Precision" for the nodes and loads (see Image 01 and Image 02).
It is often helpful to regenerate the model and to round the nodal coordinates to six decimal places, for example. This function can be accessed using the menu "Tools → Regenerate Model" (see Image 03).
Another solution would be to move the border lines of the surfaces into which the loads are to be imported a few millimeters from the outside. This ensures that all free loads are within the surfaces to be loaded.
