RFEM – Proven Choice for Realistic Modeling and Optimum User Experience
After a six-month trial, I've decided to switch to Dlubal RFEM because of its superior ability to model structures and their behavior as close to reality as possible, compared to the other models used: effective eccentricities, linear or nonlinear supports and hinges, various member sections, steel connection configurator with a wide range of options, and so on.
Moreover, the interface is user-friendly and intuitive, so it's easy to understand the functions without having to refer to the documentation.
Result filters allow for a quick interpretation of the calculations, while setting up and editing the calculation notes is quick and easy.
A significant advantage is a wide range of resources on the Dlubal website as well as on Youtube.
Last but not least, the sales and technical service are always ready to answer your questions. The main points of the comparison are excellent. I'm thus convinced of my choice.

Free-Form Glass Structure at Xujiahui Commercial Center
A remarkable free-form roof structure was built at the Xujiahui Commercial Center in Shanghai, China, and inaugurated in June 2017.
It serves as a skylight in the indoor area of the shopping center, and as a canopy in the outdoor area.

For reinforced concrete components and structures with structural behavior considerably influenced by the effects of the second-order analysis, Eurocode 2 provides the general method based on a nonlinear determination of internal forces according to the second-order analysis (5.8.6), as well as the approximation method based on the nominal curvature (5.8.8).
The aim of this technical article is to perform a design according to the general design method of Eurocode 2, using the example of a slender reinforced concrete column.

This article outlines the data exchange capabilities between RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9 and AutoCAD, focusing on DXF file integration.
This article explores the importance of considering joint-structure interaction in modeling and design and how to do it in RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9.
In this article, the design of a timber panel wall with the beam panel thickness type is performed.
If you activate the "Link to Nearby Objects…" option for nodes, RFEM or RSTAB automatically searches for neighboring objects. A link in the form of a rigid member is then created for these members, nodes, or surfaces.
You can specify various settings for searching for nearby objects. Including search area, object types to be searched for, and objects to be excluded. Furthermore, you can specify member hinges for the created connecting member.
The "Cable on Pulleys" member type allows you to simulate a cable system deflected by pulleys.
This member type only absorbs tensile forces and can only be displaced in the longitudinal direction. It is suitable for flexible tension elements whose longitudinal forces are transferred through the model via deflection points (e.g. pulley).
The gRPC-based Dlubal API gives you access to almost all modeling and calculation functions, allowing you to create, modify, and analyze models programmatically. The ability to extract results is not yet implemented, but will be added in a future update.
The API is based on Python and is the technological successor to the previous Webservice with Python. While most modeling functions are already available, work is ongoing to complete the implementation.
Further information can be found on the following website:
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.
Can I optimize parametric cross-sections?
How can I define RSECTION cross-sections in Grasshopper?
How can I check the determination of the required reinforcement?
How can I fix the error warning “10060 - The structure is unstable” for modal analysis instability?
Is it always necessary to consider tension member nonlinearities in response spectrum analysis?
How can I convert a member set or several members into a single member again?
