In the Aluminum Design add-on, you can consider a localized strength reduction in the HAZ using transverse welds in the design according to EN 1999‑1‑1.
Furthermore, the Effective Sections add-on in RSECTION allows you to calculate the effective cross-section, taking into account the transverse weld according to EN 1999-1-1.
In the Geotechnical Analysis add-on, the member of the "Pile" type is available. For the pile, the pile resistance types are created. They define the resistance parameters from the skin friction and the pile peak pressure.
The pile is then embedded in the adjacent soil solid, while considering the resistance properties resulting from the parameters of the skin friction and the peak pressure.
In the Geotechnical Analysis add-on, the high-quality material model "Modified Hardening Soil Model" is available. This material model is suitable for a variety of soils and is able to appropriately represent the following properties of the real soil.
Stress dependence of soil stiffness
Load path dependence of soil stiffness
Plastic strains even before reaching the limit condition
Increasing shear resistance with increasing mesh refinement
Increasing yield strength with increasing stress until reaching the limit yield condition
Failure criterion according to Mohr-Coulomb
You can find more information about this material model and the definition of the input in RFEM in the corresponding chapter of the online manual for the Geotechnical Analysis add-on.
In the Concrete Design add-on for RFEM 6, you can perform the fire design of reinforced concrete slabs and walls according to the simplified table method (EN 1992‑1‑2, Section 5.4.2 and Tables 5.8 and 5.9).
In the Concrete Design add-on, you have the option to define an existing vertically oriented punching shear reinforcement. This is then taken into account in the punching shear design.
In the Geotechnical Analysis add-on, the Hoek-Brown material model is available. The model shows linear-elastic ideal-plastic material behavior. Its nonlinear strength criterion is the most common failure criterion for stone and rocks.
You can enter the material parameters using
Rock parameters directly, or alternatively via
GSI classification.

You have the option to perform the fire resistance design of surfaces using the reduced cross-section method. The reduction is applied over the surface thickness. It is possible to perform the design checks for all timber materials allowed for the design.
For cross-laminated timber, depending on the type of adhesive, you can select whether it is possible for individual carbonized layer parts to fall off, and whether you can expect increased charring in certain layer areas.
