Do you want your structures to remain upright even in wind and snow? Then rely on the load wizards for plate and frame structures. You can now generate wind loads according to EN 1991‑1‑4 and snow loads according to EN 1991‑1‑3 (as well as other international standards). The load cases are generated depending on the roof shape.

The effects due to snow load are described in the American standard ASCE/SEI 7-16 and in Eurocode 1, Parts 1 through 3. These standards are implemented in the new RFEM 6 program and the Snow Load Wizard, which serves to facilitate the application of snow loads. In addition to this, the most recent generation of the program allows the construction site to be specified on a digital map, thus allowing the snow load zone to be imported automatically. These data are, in turn, used by the Load Wizard to simulate the effects due to the snow load.
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.
This article provides an overview of the Dlubal-Tekla interface, detailing the export and import options, as well as the various workflows for efficiently managing data exchange between Tekla Structures and RFEM 6 in structural design and analysis.
This article explains how to simulate the thermal strain of members in RFEM 6 using temperature loads, covering both membrane and bending effects, with practical examples to demonstrate their application.
Wind loads are also not a problem in your design. You can automatically generate wind loads as member loads or area loads (RFEM) on the following structural components:
- Vertical walls
- Flat roofs
- Monopitch roofs
- Duopitch/troughed roofs
- Vertical walls with duopitch roof
- Vertical walls with flat/monopitch roof
The following standards are available to you:
-
EN 1991-1-3 (incl. National Annexes)
-
ASCE 7
-
NBC
-
CTE DB-SE-AE
-
SANS 10160
-
GB 50009
-
NTC
Do your structures also have to withstand snowfall? Use the Snow Load Wizard to generate snow loads as member loads or surface loads.
The following standards are available:
-
EN 1991-1-3 (incl. National Annexes)
-
ASCE 7
-
NBC
-

In the Snow Load Wizard, you can optionally consider snow overhang and snow guard when generating snow loads according to Eurocode.
The Construction Stages Analysis (CSA) add-on allows you to modify the object and design properties of members, surfaces, and so on, in the individual construction stages.
