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 RFEM 6, it is possible to access numerous model templates using "Dlubal Center - Blocks". In the "Silos and Storage Tanks" block category, it is also possible to create torispherical heads.
After selecting a block, you can quickly import it into the existing RFEM model by entering the structural data.
Yes, it is possible.
When modeling a spherically curved glass pane, make sure that the surface consists of four boundary lines only.
In RF‑GLASS, it is necessary to deactivate the "Activate layered mesh for solids" option for double-curved or spherical glass panes.
More information about curved surfaces in RF‑GLASS can be found in another FAQ (see the link below).
In RFEM and RSTAB, it is possible to create line grids. Cartesian, inclined, spherical, and cylindrical grids can be created as well as labeled and dimensioned, of course. These facilitate the modeling of surface, girder, or grid models.
You can open the dialog box for creating a new line grid using the menu "Insert" → "Line Grid". The "Line Grid" dialog box appears where you can define the new grid.
The settings for the line grid can be saved as a template and used again later.
