In addition to the National Annexes (NA) listed above, you can also define a specific NA, applying user‑defined limit values and parameters.
- Automatic calculation of governing loading from load cases
- Specification of additional support forces
- Determination of the reinforcement proposal for the bottom and top plate reinforcement considering the most favorable combination of mat and rebars
- Individual adjustment of reinforcement proposal
- Results of foundation reinforcement in detailed reinforcement drawings
- Results displayed in tables and graphics
- Visualization of foundation, columns, and reinforcement in 3D rendering

It is possible to perform the following designs:
- Equilibrium limit state design
- Uplift limit state design
- Ground failure (soil contact pressure) design
- Strong eccentric loads design
- Design of foundation torsion and limitation of gaping joint
- Sliding design
- Settlement calculation
- Bending failure design of the plate and bucket
- Punching shear design
Foundation and bucket dimensions can be user-defined or determined by the module. You can edit the determined reinforcement manually. In this case, the designs are updated automatically.

In the Concrete Design add-on for RFEM 6, you can perform the fire design of reinforced concrete slabs and walls according to the simplified table method (EN 1992‑1‑2, Section 5.4.2 and Tables 5.8 and 5.9).

In the Concrete Design add-on, you have the option to define an existing vertically oriented punching shear reinforcement. This is then taken into account in the punching shear design.
