Question:
How is it possible to consider snow and wind loads with short-time actions according to NBN EN 1990?

Answer:
In the "Standard Options" tab of the Combination Wizard (1), activate the "Reduced coefficient for snow and wind" option according to Section 2.3 of NBN EN 1990 (2):

Activating the Modal Analysis Add-on and Selecting the Design Standard

Modal analysis is the starting point for the dynamic analysis of structural systems. You can use it to determine natural vibration values such as natural frequencies, mode shapes, modal masses, and effective modal mass factors. This outcome can be used for vibration design, and it can be used for further dynamic analyses (for example, loading by a response spectrum).

KB 001879 | Influence of Bending Stiffness of Cables

This article describes and explains the influence of bending stiffness of cables on their internal forces. Furthermore, the text provides information on how this influence can be reduced.

KB 001877 | ASCE 7-22 and NBC 2020 Seismic P-Delta Considerations in RFEM 6

The ASCE 7-22 Standard [1], Sect. 12.9.1.6 specifies when P-delta effects should be considered when running a modal response spectrum analysis for seismic design. In the NBC 2020 [2], Sent. 4.1.8.3.8.c gives only a short requirement that sway effects due to the interaction of gravity loads with the deformed structure should be considered. Therefore, there may be situations where second-order effects, also known as P-delta, must be considered when carrying out a seismic analysis.

Feature 001985 | Automatically Generated Load Combinations

In the "Load Cases & Combinations" dialog box, you have an option to automatically generate load and result combinations as soon as you have selected the corresponding combination expressions. For example, you can also copy or add load cases in a clearly arranged window.

Furthermore, you can manage the load cases and combinations in the tables.

Feature 002830 | Timber Materials According to American Standard ANSI/AWC NDS‑2024

The material library of RFEM and RSTAB includes the timber materials according to the American standard ANSI/AWC NDS‑2024.
