Invitation to Online Training "RFEM Structural Dynamics and Seismic Design"
Online basic training on earthquake design according to Eurocode 8 using the FEM static program RFEM

In this training you will learn the basics of structural dynamics and the most important verification methods for earthquake design. Using a practical example, the multi-modal response spectrum method and its implementation in RFEM and the associated modules of the RF-DYNAM Pro series is explained. Open questions can be discussed.

Additional information

A reliable internet connection is required to participate. Basic knowledge in the use of RSTAB or RFEM is also required. The online training is carried out using RFEM with the associated add-on modules.

During the training, each participant can ask questions via chat at any time.

Each participant receives after the event
  • Training certificate
  • Training presentation for download
  • Used models for download
  • Video recording of the training
This allows the participant to go through or understand the training independently step by step by means of the presented models.

In order to take part in the online training, the participant will receive the login information in time.

Product Features
Snow Load Wizard with options for snow overhang and snow guard according to Eurocode.

In the Snow Load Wizard, you can optionally consider snow overhang and snow guard when generating snow loads according to Eurocode.

Simulation of wind loads on structures with optional member coating.

In the wind simulation, it is possible to consider member coatings (for example, from ice loads).

The tool automatically creates rigid members between neighboring objects when the node option is active.

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 image shows the “Cable on Pulleys” member type, which absorbs only tensile forces and is simulated as a pulley system.

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 (for example, a pulley).
