This model shows the photovoltaic roofs of the GH-Hervouet site, located in Vendée, France. Designed according to Eurocode 3 and with RFEM 6, it includes a steel design using a specific add-on module to guarantee the stability of the metal structure. The technical representation illustrates robust connections and a design optimized to support the loads in operation. This project contributes to the energy transition by exploiting solar energy as part of a renewable energy approach. The whole project is part of the sustainable development of Longeville-sur-Mer and Noirmoutier.

In the Snow Load Wizard, you can optionally consider snow overhang and snow guard when generating snow loads according to Eurocode.

The Construction Stages Analysis (CSA) add-on allows you to modify the object and design properties of members, surfaces, and so on, in the individual construction stages.

During the calculation, you can display the model deformation for the calculation steps graphically in the calculation progress window.

In the wind simulation, it is possible to consider member coatings (for example, from ice loads).
How can I calculate and read effective lengths of a member properly?
How can I find out which graphics card is actually used by RFEM 6?
I'm experiencing problems with the graphics card. What can I do?
Can I use the Dlubal API in Rhino and Grasshopper?
In the Steel Joints add-on, I get high utilization ratios for preloaded bolts in the tension design. Where do these high utilization ratios come from and how can I evaluate the load-bearing reserves of the bolt?
How can I transfer my model from ETABS to RFEM 6?
