A member's boundary conditions decisively influence the elastic critical moment for lateral-torsional buckling Mcr. The program uses a planar model with four degrees of freedom for its determination. The corresponding coefficients kz and kw can be defined individually for standard-compliant cross-sections. This allows you to describe the degrees of freedom available at both member ends due to the support conditions.

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.
How can I transfer my model from ETABS to RFEM 6?
Defining RSECTION Cross-Sections in Grasshopper
Which interfaces are available for the data exchange between RFEM 6 and HiCAD?
When exporting to IFC, the entire structure is not exported. Why is this?
The results export component always exports all results. How can I specify which results are exported?
Is Dlubal material or cross-section library implemented as Grasshopper component?
