RFEM and CRANEWAY to Maximize Opportunities and Grow Our Business
Thanks to RFEM and CRANEWAY software, we're able to seize opportunities we wouldn't have thought of in the past!
These days, it's not enough to just sell a crane. That's why we offer either to take care of all the manufacturing drawings and technical calculations (to avoid complications related to transportation and margin accumulation), or to supply the customer with a complete self-supporting structure, including the tracks!
With Dlubal products, we are able to provide our customers with high-quality technical support. I'm convinced that these products play a key role in our current success. In difficult economic times, they have been essential to maintain our sales levels. What's more, I firmly believe that they will enable us to secure our future growth!

Do you have any questions?
In this article, you will learn how to model and design cable structures in RFEM 6 or RSTAB 9.
This article describes and explains the influence of bending stiffness of cables on their internal forces. Furthermore, the text provides information on how this influence can be reduced.
The ASCE 7-22 Standard [1], Sect. 12.9.1.6 specifies when P-delta effects should be considered when running a modal response spectrum analysis for seismic design. In the NBC 2020 [2], Sent. 4.1.8.3.8.c gives only a short requirement that sway effects due to the interaction of gravity loads with the deformed structure should be considered. Therefore, there may be situations where second-order effects, also known as P-delta, must be considered when carrying out a seismic analysis.
The data exchange between RFEM 6 and Allplan can be done using various file formats. This article describes the data exchange of a determined surface reinforcement using the ASF interface. This allows you to display the RFEM reinforcement values as level curves or colored reinforcement images in Allplan.
In RFEM, oriented strand board (OSB) material is available for the USA and Canada. The material parameters are taken from the "Panel Design Specification manual".
The "Bracing in Cells" function allows you to generate diagonal bracing with just a few clicks. You can find this feature under Tools → Generate Model – Members → Bracing in Cells.
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.
In RFEM, you can generate surfaces from members with the library cross-sections as well as from the members with the RSECTION cross-section.
