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.
This article provides a detailed overview of the import features from RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9 to AutoCAD/DXF files.
This article outlines the data exchange capabilities between RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9 and AutoCAD, focusing on DXF file integration.
This article* explores the role of the Design Response Spectrum across different seismic analysis methods, demonstrating its significance from simplified static approaches up to advanced dynamic simulations.
In the Snow Load Wizard, you can optionally consider snow overhang and snow guard when generating snow loads according to Eurocode.
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.
The Cable on Pulleys member type allows you to simulate a cable system deflected by pulleys.
This member type only absorbs tensile forces and can only be displaced in the longitudinal direction. It is suitable for flexible tension elements whose longitudinal forces are transferred through the model via deflection points (for example, a pulley).

I'm experiencing problems with the graphics card. What can I do?
Can I use the Dlubal API in Rhino and Grasshopper?
Can I optimize parametric cross-sections?
How can I convert a member set or several members into a single member again?
