If you are interested in making your daily work easier and more efficient, you should also pay attention to this feature. Program configuration menus and toolbars can be freely customized. This allows you to arrange your frequently used functions in a user-defined way and save time. Everything from the beginning? No problem: You can restore the default settings of the program with a mouse click. Tables, navigators, and toolbars can also be moved and docked as required.
Furthermore, you can use the configuration manager to set the graphic display properties, toolbars, and so on in a user-defined way and save them as your own configuration. Thus, the software becomes your individual productivity enhancer.
Dlubal Software customers come from all over the world and there are, of course, numerous language options for the structural analysis software. It is possible to operate the program in the following languages: English, Chinese, Czech, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish.
You can also modify the design of the RFEM/RSTAB user interface: There are nine different styles of graphical user interface to choose from; for example: Office 2007 Blue, Silver, Aqua, and Black. Customize the programs to your individual needs.
The Dlubal programs are user-friendly. This way, you will have a short induction period and easy handling of the software.
Your structure is created in a user interface usual for CAD or via tables. By right-clicking the graphical or navigator objects, you can activate a shortcut menu that allows you to easily create or modify the objects. Try it out for yourself and let yourself be inspired by the intuitive user interface! Therefore, you can create the structural and loading objects in a minimum amount of time.
You also have many useful options for printing. You can mass print the model, loads, and results. In this case, it is possible to create graphics from different defined directions. For example, you can print all internal forces as an isometric view with just a single mouse click. This way, you can always keep track of things.
Main Program
The new generation of 3D FEA software is used for the structural analysis of members, surfaces, and solids.
Add-On
The Nonlinear Material Behavior add-on allows you to consider material nonlinearities in RFEM for example, isotropic plastic, orthotropic plastic, isotropic damage).
Add-On
The Construction Stages Analysis (CSA) add-on allows for considering the construction process of structures (member, surface, and solid structures) in RFEM.
Add-On
The Time-Dependent Analysis (TDA) add-on allows you to consider the time-dependent material behavior of members. The long-term effects, such as creep, shrinkage, and aging, can influence the distribution of internal forces, depending on the structure.
Add-On
The Stress-Strain Analysis add-on performs general stress analysis by calculating the existing stresses and comparing them with the limit stresses.
Add-On
The Concrete Design add-on allows for various design checks according to international standards. You can design members, surfaces, and columns, as well as perform punching and deformation analyses.
Add-On
The Steel Design add-on performs the ultimate and serviceability limit state design checks of steel members according to various standards.
Add-On
The Masonry Design add-on for RFEM allows you to design masonry using the finite element method. It was developed as part of the research project titled DDMaS – Digitizing the Design of Masonry Structures. The material model represents the nonlinear behavior of the brick-mortar combination in the form of macro-modeling.
