Do your structures also have to withstand unusual conditions? Then select the "accidental" design situation. Here, accidental actions such as earthquake, explosion loads, collisions, and many others, are considered automatically. Furthermore, when using German standards, you can select the "Accidental - Snow" design situation to consider the "North German Plain" automatically as well.





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.

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

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

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.
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?
