You can neglect openings with a certain area in the building model calculation. This function can be activated in the global settings of the building stories. A warning message appears saying that the openings have been neglected.
In RFEM and RSTAB, you can visualize the flow field quantities of pressure, velocity, turbulence kinetic energy, and turbulence dissipation rate for the wind simulation.
The clipping planes are aligned with the respective wind direction.
Using the "Base Plate" component, you can design base plate connections with cast-in anchors. In addition to plates and welds, the design analyzes the anchorage and the steel-concrete interaction.
The relevant input for the design is defined in the Seismic Configuration. Afterwards, a new Seismic Configuration can be defined by entering a descriptive configuration name, and then selecting the applicable SFRS frame type and member type.
Full integration in RFEM/RSTAB with import of relevant internal forces
Design checks for the elastic-elastic and elastic-plastic methods
Graphical selection of members and sets of members for design
Analysis for several load and design cases
Design based on the buckling field parameters integrated in the cross-section library for the cross-section parts supported on one and both sides
Optional determination of shear stresses according to comment on El. (745)
Possibility to consider the weld thickness in the design of welded cross-sections, which has the effect of a shortening of the cross-section part width
Cross-section optimization with the option to export modified cross-sections
Lines can be imported into RFEM either as lines or members. The names of layers are adopted as the cross-section names, and the first material from the predefined materials is assigned. However, if the section of the Dlubal cross-section library and the material are recognized from the layer name, they are adopted as well.
Full integration in RFEM/RSTAB including import of all relevant internal forces
Intelligent presetting of flexural buckling-specific design parameters
Automatic determination of the distribution of internal forces and classification according to DIN 18800, Part 2
Optional import of buckling lengths from the RF-STABILITY/RSBUCK add-on module. For this, a comfortable graphical selection of the relevant buckling mode is possible
Optimizing Cross-Sections
Optional calculation according to both design methods of DIN 18800, Part 2
Automatic determination of the most unfavorable design location, also for tapered members
Check of c/t-limit values according to DIN 18800, Part 1
Design of any thin-walled RFEM/RSTAB or SHAPE-THIN section for compression and bending without interaction according to the elastic-plastic method
Design of I-shaped rolled and welded sections, I-like sections, box sections, and pipes subjected to bending and compression with iteration according to the elastic-plastic method
Clearly arranged, comprehensible design checks with all intermediate values in the short and long forms
The seismic design result is categorized into two sections: member requirements and connection requirements.
The "Seismic Requirements" include the Required Flexural Strength and the Required Shear Strength of the beam-to-column connection for moment frames. They are listed in the ‘Moment Frame Connection by Member’ tab. For braced frames, the Required Connection Tensile Strength and the Required Connection Compressive Strength of the brace are listed in the ‘Brace Connection by Member’ tab.
The program provides the performed design checks in tables. The design check details clearly display the formulas and references to the standard.
