When analyzing structural elements susceptible to buckling by using the modules RF‑STABILITY (for RFEM) or RSBUCK (for RSTAB), it might be necessary to activate the internal division of members. If there are, for example, truss members, these are not divided internally. Thus, a global failure shape is determined as the first mode shape in the stability analysis. However, when activating the member divisions, it is clear that a local failure of the structure becomes decisive.
Using the direct interface of RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9 with BricsCAD, you can import and export nodes and lines.
Furthermore, you can export different objects (for example, cross-sections) from RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9 to separate layers in BricksCAD.
Further features include the export of a deformed FE mesh and dimension lines.
The DSTV product interface for steel structures is available in RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9 for transferring pure member structures (including loads, load cases, load combinations, imperfections).
The DSTV interface allows you to exchange data between RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9 and the programs like "Bentley ProStructure 3D", "Tekla Structures", "Bocad", "Intergraph Frameworks", "Graitec Advance Steel", "Cadwork", and many others.
Using the SDNF interface, you can import and export data such as materials, cross-sections, members, and surfaces in RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9. It allows you to exchange the file-based data with programs such as Tekla Structures or Advance Steel.
The DXF II interface is based on a different technology than the DXF interface. It provides additional features, such as the export of deformed meshes, the export of dimension lines, and so on.

Main Program
The new generation of 3D FEA software is used for the structural analysis of members, surfaces, and solids.
Add-On
The Building Model add-on for RFEM allows you to define and manipulate a building using stories. The stories can be adjusted in many ways afterwards. The information about stories and the entire model (center of gravity) is displayed in tables and graphics.
Add-On
The Form-Finding add-on finds the optimal shape of members subjected to axial forces and tension-loaded surface models. The shape is determined by the equilibrium between the member axial force or the membrane stress and the existing boundary conditions.
Add-On
The Masonry Design add-on for RFEM allows you to design masonry using the finite element method. It was developed as part of the research project titled DDMaS – Digitizing the Design of Masonry Structures. The material model represents the nonlinear behavior of the brick-mortar combination in the form of macro-modeling.
Add-On
The Steel Design add-on performs the ultimate and serviceability limit state design checks of steel members according to various standards.
Add-On
The Timber Design add-on performs the ultimate, serviceability, and fire resistance limit state design checks of timber members according to various standards.
Add-On
The Multilayer Surfaces add-on allows you to define multilayer surface structures. The calculation can be carried out with or without the shear coupling.
Add-On
The Aluminum Design add-on performs the ultimate and serviceability limit state design checks of aluminum members according to various standards.
