Dynamic Analysis for RFEM 6

Dynamic analyses are an important part of structural analysis and design. This is where different areas of application converge. Typical dynamic analyses cover seismic design (earthquake), vibration design of buildings, and calculation of machine foundations, as well as natural frequency analysis of bridges and chimneys. If you want to carry out this kind of analysis on your project digitally, you have come to the right place. For the structural FEA software RFEM, we offer a wide range of powerful add-on modules that you can use to perform your dynamic calculations without much effort.

Resulting Modular Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Structure

Modal Analysis for RFEM 6 Add-On

The Modal Analysis add-on allows for the calculation of eigenvalues, natural frequencies, and natural periods for member, surface, and solid models.

Response Spectrum Analysis

Response Spectrum Analysis for RFEM 6 Add-On

The Response Spectrum Analysis add-on performs seismic analysis using multi-modal response spectrum analysis. The spectra required for this can be created in compliance with the standards or can be user-defined. The equivalent static forces are generated from them. The add-on includes an extensive library of accelerograms from seismic zones that can be used to generate the response spectra.

Time History Analysis

Time History Analysis for RFEM 6 Add-On

The Time History Analysis add-on supports dynamic structural analyzes with external excitations, where the excitation functions can be defined as time functions or accelerogram.

Pushover Analysis

Pushover Analysis for RFEM 6 Add-On

Using the Pushover Analysis add-on, you can analyze the seismic actions on a particular building, and thus assess whether the building can withstand an earthquake.
