The snow and wind load wizard has been extended to include some new functions in the new RFEM 6. In addition to the standardized generation of wind and snow loads, the load wizard can also determine loads for hybrid models made of members and surfaces now. Furthermore, the generated loads can be switched on and off for each roof side.
Moreover, there is a direct integration of the Geo-zone tool now, where you can exactly define the position of a construction project. All local coefficients are then automatically extracted by using the tool.
Extension of Snow and Wind Load Wizards in RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9

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

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 (for example, a pulley).

In addition to the program login using your Dlubal account, you can optionally log in with your Microsoft account.
