RFEM 6 | Tutorial - Structural Analysis (USA)

Until now, if you wanted to determine the centroid of a rectangle, it was necessary to define a line from one corner point to the diagonally opposite point. You obtained the centroid by dividing this line. In RFEM 5 and RSTAB 8, you now have the possibility to create a node between two points. Thus, it is sufficient to select the corner points; then you can determine the distance in absolute or relative values.

A fluid with a constant density in a homogeneous gravity field exerts a hydrostatic pressure on its comprehensive container wall according to Pascal's law.

The deformations of the FE nodes are always the first result of an FE calculation. It is possible to calculate strains, internal forces, and stresses based on these deformations and the stiffness of the elements.

The DSTV product interface for steel structures is available in RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9 for transferring pure member structures (including loads, load cases, load combinations, imperfections).

The DSTV interface allows you to exchange data between RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9 and the programs like "Bentley ProStructure 3D", "Tekla Structures", "Bocad", "Intergraph Frameworks", "Graitec Advance Steel", "Cadwork", and many others.

Using the SDNF interface, you can import and export data such as materials, cross-sections, members, and surfaces in RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9. It allows you to exchange the file-based data with programs such as Tekla Structures or Advance Steel.

The DXF II interface is based on a different technology than the DXF interface. It provides additional features, such as the export of deformed meshes, the export of dimension lines, and so on.
