Strength and Stability
The Steel Design add-on provides you with a vast number of interesting features, and the input and result evaluation are completely integrated in the user interface of the structural FEA software RFEM and the frame & truss analysis software RSTAB.
- A wide range of available sections, such as rolled I-sections; channel sections; T-sections; angles; rectangular and circular hollow sections; round bars; symmetrical and asymmetrical, parametric I-, T-, and angle sections; built-up cross-sections (suitability for design depends on the selected standard)
- Design of general RSECTION cross-sections (depending on the design formats available in the respective standard); for example, equivalent stress design
- Option to design tapered members, using a design method depending on the standard
- Option to adjust the essential design factors and standard parameters, which allows for additional flexibility
- Detailed setting options of the basis and extent of calculations for higher flexibility
- Fast result output with clear arrangement for an immediate overview of the result distribution after the design checks
- Detailed design results and essential formulas, allowing for a comprehensible and verifiable result path
- Numerical results clearly arranged in windows, including the option to display them graphically in the model
- Seamless integration of the results into the RFEM/RSTAB printout report

Stability Analysis
Comprehensive calculation of all required factors, such as factors for considering the moment distribution or interaction factors.
Alternative consideration of all effects for the stability analysis already during the determination of the internal forces in RSTAB (second-order analysis, imperfections, stiffness reduction, if necessary in combination with the Torsional Warping add-on).

Fantastic and Professional Support
I would just like to send a quick note to wish everyone at Dlubal well, in particular I would like to say thank you for the fantastic, thorough and professional support you provide.
Powerful, Easy to Use, Easy to Learn…
We adopted Dlubal in our work and haven't looked back. Powerful, easy to use, easy to learn, with mercifully simple output (once set up).

For the serviceability of a structure, the deformations must not exceed certain limit values. This article describes an example that shows how to analyze the deflection of members using Dlubal's design add-ons.
It is now possible to keep the results of the steel, steel joint, aluminum, and timber design despite changing the design properties and settings (see the setting in the image). The results are thus not deleted, but marked as invalid.
When restarting the design, only the invalid design results are updated. If objects are subsequently added to the design, they are additionally designed when restarting the design, while the previously calculated results remain valid.
In the Aluminum Design add-on, you can consider the localized strength reduction in the HAZ due to transverse welds when performing design according to EN 1999-1-1.
Moreover, the Effective Sections add-on in RSECTION allows you to calculate the effective cross-section according to EN 1999-1-1, taking into account the transverse weld.
The Aluminum Design add-on provides you with further options. Here you can also design general cross-sections that are not predefined in the cross-section library. For example, create a cross-section in the RSECTION program and then import it into RFEM/RSTAB. Depending on the design standard used, you can select from various design formats. This includes, for example, the equivalent stress analysis.
With a license for RSECTION and "Effective Sections", you can also perform the design checks while taking into account the effective cross-section properties according to EN 1993‑1‑5.
You know for sure that when connecting tension-loaded components with bolted connections, you need to consider the cross-section reduction due to the bolt holes in the ultimate limit state design. The structural analysis programs also have a solution for this. In the Aluminum Design add-on, you can enter a member local section reduction for this. Enter the reduction of the cross-section as an absolute value or as a percentage of the total area at all relevant locations.
How can I change the display size of formulas in the result details?
I would like to analyze temporary structures. Which programs do you recommend?
I would like to design an aluminum structure. Is it possible to use RFEM or RSTAB for this?
I would like to analyze cable and tensile structures. Is it possible to use RFEM or RSTAB for this?
How do I consider the strength of weld-affected zone for aluminum?
How do I define a member as a cantilever and not as supported at both ends for serviceability or deflection design?
