RFEM 6: Friendly User Interface with Lots of Information Available

I would like to thank you for the opportunity to try out RFEM 6. The program is very user-friendly for me, and when I encountered a problem, it always helped me to watch the tutorial video, study the online manual, or finally contact your online support, where they were happy to assist me. I was very pleased that many parameters are predefined, but can be customized. That's the reason I consider the program to be very flexible.

I would like to mention that I'm excited about how much information and webinars you share. Since I've been on maternity leave for several years, during which time I have not had many opportunities to stay up to date with the latest developments, your website is an inexpensive source of information for me.

Knowledge Base Articles

KB 001883 | Plate Girder Design According to AISC 360-22 in RFEM 6

Plate girder is an economical choice for long spans construction. I-section steel plate girder typically has a deep web to maximize its shear capacity and flange separation, yet thin web to minimize the self-weight. Due to its large height-to-thickness (h/t_w) ratio, transverse stiffeners may be required to stiffen the slender web.

Steel Connection Rigidity and Its Influence on Structural Design

Understanding steel connection rigidity is crucial in structural design. Often, connections are treated as strictly pinned or rigid, but this can lead to uneconomical or even dangerous designs. Explore how Dlubal Software's RFEM and Steel Joints add-on help verify connection stiffness and moment resistance, ensuring safer and more economical designs.

In this article, the calculation of a timber panel wall with the beam panel thickness type is compared with a manual calculation.

KB 001848 | Timber Column Design as per the 2018 NDS Standard in RFEM 6

Using the Timber Design add-on, timber column design is possible according to the 2018 NDS standard ASD method. Accurately calculating timber member compressive capacity and adjustment factors is important for safety considerations and design. The following article will verify the maximum critical buckling strength calculated by the Timber Design add-on using step-by-step analytical equations as per the NDS 2018 standard including the compressive adjustment factors, adjusted compressive design value, and final design ratio.

Product Features

Feature 002828 | Fire Design of Slabs and Walls According to Simplified Table Method

In the Concrete Design add-on for RFEM 6, you can perform the fire design of reinforced concrete slabs and walls according to the simplified table method (EN 1992‑1‑2, Section 5.4.2 and Tables 5.8 and 5.9).

Feature 002826 | Punching Shear Reinforcement

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.

Feature 002824 | OSB Material for USA and Canada

In RFEM, the oriented strand board (OSB) material is available for the USA and Canada. The material parameters are taken from the "Panel Design Specification manual".
