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 and RFEM 6 will have separate service contracts with the two levels Basic and Pro available for both generations. You can maintain your RFEM 5 service contract to continue receiving program updates and priority tech support. If you choose to discontinue the RFEM 5 service contract, you can continue using the program but will no longer have access to any program updates.
One significant difference from the RFEM 5 service contract is that when a service contract is purchased for RFEM 6, it will also be required to purchase a service contract for each add-on. The reason for this is you now have access to all national and international standards for a given material (e.g. concrete design acc. to ACI 318, CSA A23.3, EC2, etc. in one add-on). Program updates will include significant updates for the add-ons including the addition of new standards when available.
It’s highly suggested that a service contract is purchased for RFEM 6 as significant development will continue over the next several years for this new generation and will be provided through program updates to those with a valid service contract. Both the Basic and Pro levels will provide access to the latest program updates while the Basic will provide priority email technical support only and the Pro will provide priority email, phone, and screen-sharing technical support.
RFEM 6 will be released in phases. The initial phase will not include all capabilities that RFEM 5 currently has, such as CLT design (RF‑LAMINATE), glass design (RF‑GLASS), some BIM integration (i.e. Revit), and a handful of other features. Therefore, we will continue to fully support RFEM 5 until RFEM 6 during this ~2-year overlap period. Customers who rely heavily on CLT design, may choose to not upgrade to RFEM 6 until a later time or can upgrade and have concurrent access to both RFEM 5 and RFEM 6.
Submit your current proof of enrollment and we will provide you with a full version of our software, valid for 1 year. When your license expires, you can extend it for an additional year by submitting updated proof of enrollment at your college or university.

The SST k-omega model is used for the k-ω turbulence model.
In RWIND Simulation, the turbulence model is organized in the "Parameters of Simulation" menu under the "Turbulence" tab.
The RFEM or RSTAB interface menu organizes the turbulence model for the automatic calculation of wind loads in the background in the "Simulate and Generate Wind Loads" dialog box under the "Wind Load" tab. In this case, the "Use uniform turbulence at the inlet" function in the Turbulence Properties section creates a constant turbulence specification over the height of the wind tunnel. By deactivating this function, you can specify the turbulence variable over the height. In addition to the location-specific parameter of the wind speed profile, the turbulence property dependent on the terrain roughness over the height is also defined automatically. As an alternative, you can define the turbulence property manually in the form of a table entry using the "User-Defined Turbulence" function.
