Stand-Alone Programs – Steel Structures

The CRANEWAY stand-alone program calculates and performs all required design checks of crane runway girders according to Eurocode 3. You can optionally select between bridge or suspension cranes.

The program allows you to perform stress analysis, fatigue design and deformation analysis, as well as stability analysis, and provides user-defined settings for National Annexes. It is a perfect tool for engineers who deal with the design and analysis of crane runway systems.

RF‑/PLATE‑BUCKLING is available as an add-on module for RFEM/RSTAB or as a separate stand-alone program. It performs plate buckling analysis of rectangular plates according to the standards of the European Uninon, EN 1993‑1‑5:2006, and of Germany, DIN o;18800‑3:1990‑11.

The plates can have horizontal or vertical stiffeners (flat steel, angles, T-stiffeners, trapezoidal sections, channels). You can apply almost any load on the plate edges, which can also be imported from RFEM/RSTAB. In RF-/PLATE-BUCKLING, the buckling analysis is always carried out on the total buckling panel, as the possible stiffeners are considered in the FE model. Thus, design checks for single and partial panels are omitted.
