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.
In the case of surfaces with variable thickness, the plane consists of three nodes. The result is a wedge, not a cone, as desired. Therefore, we recommend dividing the quarter-circular ring into separate uniform surface segments:
or
If the dimensions of side lengths also change after the plate thickness is increased, this is due to the setting that the punching cone should be inside the foundation plate.
You can specify this behavior in the input windows using the "Details" button. Here you can find the "Punching Cone within Foundation Plate" option.
In order to freely define the geometry, unselect this option.
If the Punching Cone Within Foundation Plate option is selected in the Details, this results in minimum dimensions for the foundation plate that must be met. By deactivating this option, the foundation dimensions will no longer be limited.
