Steel Design | Serviceability | Features

  • Calculation of deflections and comparison with the normative or manually adjusted limit values
  • Consideration of a precamber for the deflection analysis
  • Different limit values are possible, depending on the design situation type
  • Manual adjustment of reference lengths and segmentation by direction
  • Calculation of deflections related to the initial structure or to the deformed structure
  • Further detailed design checks depending on the selected design standard (for example, limitation of web breathing according to EN 1993‑2)
  • Graphical result display integrated in RFEM/RSTAB; for example, the design ratio of a limit value, the deformation, or the sag
  • Complete integration of the results into the RFEM/RSTAB printout report

Product Features
Snow Load Wizard with options for snow overhang and snow guard according to Eurocode.

In the Snow Load Wizard, you can optionally consider snow overhang and snow guard when generating snow loads according to Eurocode.

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.

The image shows the “Cable on Pulleys” member type, which absorbs only tensile forces and is simulated as a pulley system.

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).
