Knowledge Base Articles
Visualization of the shear flow result diagram and acting forces on a timber panel wall
In this article, the design of a timber panel wall with the beam panel thickness type is performed.
Illustration of equivalent lateral force method for seismic analysis in structural engineering
This article provides a comprehensive overview of essential seismic analysis methods, explaining their principles and applications, as well as the scenarios in which they are most effective
Fire design according to Chapter 16 of the NDS [1] for wood members and surfaces is available in the Timber Design add-on. This article shows how the charring of wood and reduced cross-sectional dimensions can be accounted for in the fire design with an example from AWC Technical Report No. 10 [2].
Experimental Wind Tunnel Test – Aachen University
Validating CFD simulations with experimental data enhances accuracy by comparing simulation outcomes with real-world conditions. This process identifies discrepancies, allowing adjustments to enhance model reliability. Ultimately, it builds confidence in the simulation's ability to predict wind load scenarios.

Product Features
The image shows the hierarchical control between load transfer surfaces and floor slabs in RFEM 6.

In RFEM 6, there is a hierarchical control between load transfer surfaces and floors in the building model. This means that you can also create walls from load transfer surfaces to take into account curtain walls, for example.

Feature 002901 | Plywood Materials According to ANSI/APA PRG 510 Plywood Standard (USA/CAN) in RFEM Material Library

In the material library of RFEM, you can find plywood materials according to the US and Canadian standards ANSI/APA PRG 510 Plywood (USA/CAN).

Feature 002870 | Charring Diagram

For the fire resistance design of timber surfaces, you can display a charring diagram depending on the time of fire exposure.

It is also possible to print this charring diagram into the printout report.

Feature 002825 | Shear Walls and Deep Beams Consisting of Members

When generating shear walls and deep beams, you can assign not only surfaces and cells, but also members.
