Design and verify the entire supporting structure of your PV system – including stress analysis, joint design, and foundation checks.
Steel Joints Design
Design your solar panel structures down to the last detail with the Steel Joints add-on in RFEM! Model and analyze realistic bolted or welded connections for steel support systems, ensuring accurate stress distribution and reliable performance in all conditions.
Our software solution provides comprehensive support for structural design in seismic zones and global stability assessment. Advanced dynamic analysis is available through add-ons such as Time History Analysis and Pushover Analysis. Nonlinear behavior of structural elements is considered using code-based plastic hinges according to FEMA 356 (for steel structures). The resulting displacement of the structure can be determined according to the requirements of Eurocode 8, ensuring realistic and safe designs even under demanding conditions.
