Answer:
Both RFEM 5 and RSTAB 8 are ideally suited for application in mechanical engineering and are used by numerous users in daily practice. Due to the modular system, you can only use the add-on modules required for your purposes.Main Programs RFEM 5 or RSTAB 8
The main programs are used to define structures and materials as well as actions.RSTAB 8 is suitable for beam, frame, or truss structures. In addition, RFEM 5 provides additional options to calculate structures with surface or solid elements.
Add-on Modules
- RF-/STEEL
Calculation of stresses and comparison with limit stresses - RF-PIPING
Modeling of pipelines (in RFEM only) - RF-PIPING Design
Design of pipelines (in RFEM only)
Dynamic Analysis
If a seismic analysis or vibration designs are required, the RF‑/DYNAM Pro add-on modules provide special tools for determining natural frequencies and mode shapes, analysis of forced vibrations, generation of equivalent loads, and nonlinear time history analysis.
