Quick and Easy Generation of Loads
Total items: 6
Snow Load Generator
The snow load generator can generate snow loads as member loads or surface loads.
Additional snow loads such as drifted snow loads, snow overhangs, and snow guards can be taken into account as well.
The following standards are available:
-
EN 1991-1-3 (incl. National Annexes)
-
DIN 1055-5
-
CTE DB-SE-AE
-
ASCE/SEI 7-16
Wind load generator
Wind loads can be automatically generated as member loads or area loads on the following structural components (optional with internal pressure for open buildings):
- Vertical walls
- Flat roofs
- Monopitch roofs
- Duopitch/troughed roofs
- Vertical walls with roof
The following standards are available:
-
EN 1991-1-3 (incl. National Annexes)
-
DIN 1055-4
-
CTE DB-SE-AE
-
ASCE/SEI 7-16
Generating Member/Line Loads from Surface Loads
Area loads can be automatically converted into member or line loads. There are 3 options available for this:
- Generate Member Loads from Area Load via Plane
- Member loads from area loads via cells
- Line loads from surface loads on openings
In the case of member loads from area loads, a plane has to be defined via corner nodes or cells have to be selected in the graphic. The area load can either be applied to the entire surface or only the effective or projected surface of the members.
For the 'Line Loads from Area Loads on Openings' function, the corresponding openings are selected.

Generating Member Loads from Free Line Load
For pure member models such as grillages, you can define free line loads (e.g. from conveyor belts) and transfer them proportionally to members.

Generating Member Loads from Coating
Coating loads can be generated as member loads from ice loads, claddings, and so on.
For this, you only have to specify the thickness and specific weight of the coating.
Manual RFEM 5
Generating Loads from Accelerated Motion
This generator creates loads as a result of an acceleration or rotation (e.g. from tower cranes), which acts on specific objects of the model.
The mass is determined from the self-weight.
