WebService and API provide you various scope of application. We have summarized some ideas as to how WebService and API can support your company:
Creating additional applications for RFEM 6, RSTAB 9, and RSECTION 1
Possibility to make the workflows more efficient (for example, model definition and input) and to integrate RFEM 6, RSTAB 9, and RSECTION 1 into your company applications
Simulating and calculating several design options
Running optimization algorithms for size, shape, and/or topology
Accessing the calculation results
Generation of printout reports in the PDF format
The level of quality of the work is automatically increased not only by the algorithmic model definitions, but also by:
Extending / consolidating RFEM 6, RSTAB 9, and RSECTION 1 with your own controls
Increased interoperability between the individual software used to complete a project
With the activated option 'Topology on Form-Finding Form' in Project Navigator - Display, the model display is optimized based on the form-finding geometry. For example, the loads are displayed in relation to the deformed system.
The STEP format represents a standard interface initiated by ISO (ISO 10303). In the topology specification, all shapes (line, surface, and solid models) relevant for RFEM can be transferred from CAD models.
Note: This format is completely different from the product interface DSTV (Deutscher Stahlbau Verband), which uses the same file extension *.stp.
The ACIS SAT file format is smaller than other 3D formats, saving you time when importing and exporting models. The export currently supports the ACIS 7.0 format.
In addition, SAT is considered to be particularly robust, and all geometry and topology data, where relevant in RFEM, are retained in the highly accurate SAT models.
