Do you have any questions?
This article draws a parallel between generating an FE mesh for separate objects using the “Independent FE mesh preferred” option, and generating the mesh without using said option.
In this article, you will learn how to model a simple end plate connection in RFEM 6.
Utilizing the Steel Design Add-on, steel design is possible according to the AISC 360-22 standard. The following article will compare the result output when calculating lateral torsional buckling according to Chapter F vs. an Eigenvalue Analysis.
In structural engineering, predicting the effects of turbulent wind flows on structures is crucial for safety and performance. Turbulence modeling in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) helps simulate these interactions. Engineers must choose a practical turbulence model by balancing efficiency, accuracy, and applicability. Common models include Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS), Unsteady Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (URANS), and Delayed Detached Eddy Simulation (DDES). RANS is robust and cost-effective for steady flows, URANS captures time-dependent phenomena for moderate unsteadiness, and DDES, a hybrid of RANS and Large Eddy Simulation (LES), resolves complex turbulent structures. Understanding each model's strengths and limitations helps engineers select the best approach for their applications.
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).
When generating shear walls and deep beams, you can assign not only surfaces and cells, but also members.
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.
In RFEM, the oriented strand board (OSB) material is available for the USA and Canada. The material parameters are taken from the "Panel Design Specification manual".
