The model describes the precise design of crane runway girders and support loads on further structures using the automatic combinatorics in RFEM and RSTAB, taking into account the standard EN 1990 + EN 1991-3 (cranes). It shows how existing steel halls can be used as practical examples to visualize technical load distributions and structural design. The structured presentation emphasizes the exact sequence of the calculations and provides a clear overview of the load distribution and the relevant parameters of a steel hall.

This article provides a comprehensive overview of essential seismic analysis methods, explaining their principles and applications, as well as the scenarios in which they are most effective
Fire design according to Chapter 16 of the NDS [1] for wood members and surfaces is available in the Timber Design add-on. This article shows how the charring of wood and reduced cross-sectional dimensions can be accounted for in the fire design with an example from AWC Technical Report No. 10 [2].
When calculating regular structures, data input is often not complicated, but it is time-consuming. Save your valuable time with input automation. The task described in the present article is to consider the stories of a house as single construction stages. Data are entered using a C# program so that the user does not have to enter the elements of the individual floors manually.
In the material library of RFEM, you can find plywood materials according to the US and Canadian standards ANSI/APA PRG 510 Plywood (USA/CAN).
For the fire resistance design of timber surfaces, you can display a charring diagram depending on the time of fire exposure.
It is also possible to print this charring diagram into the printout report.
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".
Using the "Beam Panel" thickness type, you can model timber panel elements in 3D space. Simply specify the surface geometry and the timber panel elements are automatically generated using an internal member-surface construct, including the element connection stiffness. The Beam Panel thickness type is defined using the Multilayer Surfaces add-on.
A "beam panel" provides you with the following advantages:
- Single-sided or double-sided sheathing
- Automatic calculation of a semi-rigid coupling between studs and sheathing
- Nailed sheathing connection
- Stapled sheathing connection
- User-defined sheathing connection
- Representation as a complete geometric 3D object (frame, studs, surface, etc.), including eccentricity and automatically calculated stiffness between elements
- Consider openings via surface cells
- Design of the individual structural elements utilizing the Timber Design add-on (full shear wall design planned for a future release)
- Other material options available (e.g., particle board, gypsum, or fiberboard sheathing with cold-formed steel sections)
Do I need to add a line hinge/line release for the CLT wall-to-floor connection in the Building Model add-on?
How can I add counteracting dead loads (0.9*D) in NBC load combinations?
How can I perform member design by case for different settings in the design configuration?
How can I exclude the dead load in NBC load combinations when performing a deflection check?
What is the conservatism factor for CLT in Timber Design?
How can the NDS and CSA O86 factors be manually adjusted for consideration in the Timber Design add-on?
