The link between businessman Wolfgang Schweidtweiler from Pforzheim (Germany) and panorama artist Yadegar Asisi made it possible for a 100-year-old gasometer threatened by demolition to be used in such a spectacular way.
The former gas storage facility has been transformed into an extraordinary event area using a completely new interior design. A steel construction of around 214 ft with a diameter of 131 ft has been built on top of an approximately 20-foot-high massive ground floor. Since the end of 2014, the 360° panoramas of Berlin artist Asisi have been exhibited inside the building.

The three types of moment frames (Ordinary, Intermediate, Special) are available in the Steel Design add-on of RFEM 6. The seismic design result according to AISC 341-22 is categorized into two sections: member requirements and connection requirements.
The Steel Design add-on in RFEM 6 now offers the ability to perform seismic design according to AISC 341-16 and AISC 341-22. Five types of seismic force-resisting systems (SFRS) are currently available.

Moment frame design according to AISC 341-16 is now possible in the Steel Design add-on of RFEM 6. The seismic design result is categorized into two sections: member requirements and connection requirements. This article covers the required strength of the connection. An example comparison of the results between RFEM and the AISC Seismic Design Manual [2] is presented.
In the ultimate configuration of the steel joint design, you have the option to modify the limit plastic strain for welds.
The "Base Plate" component allows you to design base plate connections with cast-in anchors. In this case, plates, welds, anchorages, and steel-concrete interaction are analyzed.
In the "Edit Section" dialog box, you can display the buckling shapes of the Finite Strip Method (FSM) as a 3D graphic.
- Design of five types of seismic force-resisting systems (SFRS) includes Special Moment Frame (SMF), Intermediate Moment Frame (IMF), Ordinary Moment Frame (OMF), Ordinary Concentrically Braced Frame (OCBF), and Special Concentrically Braced Frame (SCBF)
- Ductility check of the width-to thickness ratios for webs and flanges
- Calculation of the required strength and stiffness for stability bracing of beams
- Calculation of the maximum spacing for stability bracing of beams
- Calculation of the required strength at hinge locations for stability bracing of beams
- Calculation of the column required strength with the option to neglect all bending moments, shear, and torsion for overstrength limit state
- Design check of column and brace slenderness ratios
Is it possible to perform stability analysis according to EN 1993‑1‑1 in RSECTION 1?
Why is it not possible to select the plate I want to cut/edit in the Plate Editor/Plate Cut?
Is it possible to consider the eccentricity of unsymmetrical line welds for the stress analysis in RFEM 6?
How can I reduce the calculation time for members with a nonlinear material model in RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9?
Why are the stresses of the structural analysis different from those calculated with the Stress-Strain Analysis add-on?
Is it possible to use the general method according to EN 1993‑1‑1, 6.3.4 to design structural components with an asymmetric cross-section in the Steel Design add-on for RFEM 6 or RSTAB 9?
