Generation of Wind Loads

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:

  • European Union | Flag EN 1991-1-3 (incl. National Annexes)
  • EN-US | Flag ASCE 7
  • Canada | Flag NBC
  • Spain Flag CTE DB-SE-AE
  • South Africa Flag SANS 10160
  • People's Republic of China | Flag GB 50009

Modell eines Stahlbetonbalkens, der durch Kriechen und Schwinden beeinflusst wird
This technical article addresses the direct deformation analysis of reinforced concrete beams considering the long-term effects of creep and shrinkage. The direct calculation according to Eurocode 2 (EN 1992-1-1, Section 7.4.3) is explained using a single-span beam. Particular emphasis is placed on tension stiffening, behavior in the cracked state based on the distribution factor (damage parameter), and consideration of shrinkage and creep behavior.

Die Bauzustandsanalyse ermöglicht die Anpassung von Eigenschaften wie Stäben und Flächen in verschiedenen Bauphasen.

In the Construction Stage Analysis (CSA) add-on, you have the option to modify the object and design properties of members, surfaces, and so on, in the individual construction stages.

Display of model deformations in the analysis progress window of the program.

During the calculation, you can use the Calculation Progress window to graphically display the model deformation for the calculation steps.

Simulation of wind loads on structures with optional member coating.

In the wind simulation, it is possible to consider member coatings (for example, from ice loads).

The tool automatically creates rigid members between neighboring objects when the node option is active.

If you activate the "Link to Nearby Objects…" option for nodes, RFEM or RSTAB automatically searches for neighboring objects. A link in the form of a rigid member is then created for these members, nodes, or surfaces.

You can specify various settings for searching for nearby objects. Including search area, object types to be searched for, and objects to be excluded. Furthermore, you can specify member hinges for the created connecting member.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

In the Steel Joints add-on, I receive high design ratios for prestressed bolts for the tension force design.
Where does this high design ratio come from and how can I evaluate the bolt's load-bearing capacity reserves?

Can I optimize parametric cross-sections?

How can I define RSECTION cross-sections in Grasshopper?

How can I fix the error warning “10060 - The structure is unstable” for modal analysis instability?

Is it always necessary to consider tension member nonlinearities in response spectrum analysis?

How can I convert a member set or several members into a single member again?
