To be able to evaluate the influence of local stability phenomena of slender structural components, RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9 provide you with the option of performing a linear critical load analysis on the cross-section level. The following article explains the basics of the calculation and the result interpretation.
The design of cold-formed steel members according to the AISI S100-16 is now available in RFEM 6. Design can be accessed by selecting “AISC 360” as the standard in the Steel Design add-on. “AISI S100” is then automatically selected for the cold-formed design (Image 01).
This article gives a brief introduction to the API II of RFEM 6.
Everything is online. The same is true for the Dlubal licenses for RFEM 6, RSTAB 9, and RSECTION. This article contains information about using and managing online licenses, reserving licenses, checking the license validity, and moving authorizations between the licenses.
The design of cold-formed steel members according to the AISI S100-16 / CSA S136-16 is available in RFEM 6. Design can be accessed by selecting “AISC 360” or “CSA S16” as the standard in the Steel Design Add-on. “AISI S100” or “CSA S136” is then automatically selected for the cold-formed design.
RFEM applies the Direct Strength Method (DSM) to calculate the elastic buckling load of the member. The Direct Strength Method offers two types of solutions, numerical (Finite Strip Method) and analytical (Specification). The FSM signature curve and buckling shapes can be viewed under Sections.
In the cross-section program RSECTION, you can define welds (fillet welds, corner fillet welds, lap fillet welds) for thin-walled cross-sections. For these sections, you can calculate the weld stresses.
In addition to the program login using your Dlubal account, you can optionally log in with your Microsoft account.
In RFEM and RSTAB, you can use parametric RSECTION cross-sections. If the corresponding parameters have been defined in RSECTION, you can easily modify them in RFEM/RSTAB.
Which programs and add-ons are suitable for the structural analysis and design of steel structures?
How can I import my RSECTION cross-section into RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9?
Which standardized sections are valid for AISI cold-formed steel design in RFEM 6?
Can I design user-defined (parametric) sections according to AISI S100 or CSA S136?
Does RFEM check the applicability limits of AISI Table B4.1-1?
I encountered a sharing violation while importing a dxf file into SHAPE‑THIN. What is the issue?
