The Concrete Design add-on for RFEM allows you to perform the fire design of reinforced concrete walls and slabs according to the simplified table method (EN 1992‑1‑2, Section 5.4.2 and Table 5.8 and 5.9).
In the Stress-Strain Analysis add-on, you can define a component-dependent limit stress cycle and consider it for the design.
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.
Do you have individual column sections and angled wall geometries, and need punching shear design for them?
No problem. In RFEM 6, you can perform punching shear design not only for rectangular and circular sections, but for any cross-section shape.
Building stone on stone has a long tradition in construction. 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 DDMaS - Digitizing the Design of Masonry Structures. Here, the material model represents the nonlinear behavior of the brick-mortar combination in the form of macro-modeling. Do you want to find out more?
- Cross-section optimization
- Transfer of optimized sections to RFEM/RSTAB
- Design of any thin-walled section from RSECTION
- Representation of a stress diagram on a section
- Determination of normal, shear, and equivalent stresses
- Output of stress components for the individual member internal force types
- Detailed representation of stresses in all stress points
- Determination of the largest Δσ for each stress point (for example, for fatigue design)
- Colored display of stresses and design ratios for a quick overview of the critical or oversized zones
- Output of parts lists
The Timber Design add-on for RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9 is multi-purpose and combines a large number of additional elements. [*S16332764*] Timber Design Add-on for RFEM 6
You find the serviceability limit state design fully integrated in the result tables of the Timber Design add-on. If yuo want to check the design results, you can open the program and display the results with all the details at each location of the designed members. Furthermore, graphics are available for you with the result diagrams of the design ratios.
A special thing is that All result tables and graphics can be integrated into the global printout report of RFEM/RSTAB as a part of the timber design results. You can also display and document the deformations of the entire structure as a part of the RFEM/RSTAB functionality. This function is independent of the add-on.
Are you still looking for the design? The design checks are available in tabular form in the Timber Design add-on. Moreover, the program can also show you the distribution of the design ratios graphically. Extensive filter options are available for you in the table as well as in the graphical output, and you can use them to display the desired design checks by limit state or design type.
- Arbitrary definition of the charring time
- Option to calculate with or without adhesion of the layer for surface structures (cross-laminated timber)
- Free user-defined specification of the fire parameters
- Consideration of Different Effective Lengths in Fire Resistance Design
- Optional design "Compression perpendicular to grain"
- Graphical result display integrated in RFEM/RSTAB, such as a design ratio
- Complete integration of the results into the RFEM/RSTAB printout report
