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.

If you apply a moving load from the library of load models, you can specify the "thickness of dispersal layer" and "angle of dispersal" (see Image 01). Based on these entries, RF‑MOVE Surfaces determines the length and width of the rectangular surfaces and generates free surface loads.
As an alternative, if you have entered concentrated loads as moving loads, you can right-click the free concentrated load and convert it into a surface load using the corresponding option in the shortcut menu (see Image 02). There are also parameters for controlling the load width.
Define several load cases to create a moving load. Each load case should correspond to a certain position of the moving load in the structure.
You can easily generate the load cases from the load positions on members in the add-on modules RF‑MOVE (for RFEM 5) and RSMOVE (for RSTAB 8). Using RF-MOVE Surfaces, it is also possible to generate load cases from moving loads on surfaces for RFEM 5 (see the image).
