Compared to the RF‑/STEEL add-on module (RFEM 5 / RSTAB 8), the following new features have been added to the Stress-Strain Analysis add-on for RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9:
- Treatment of members, surfaces, solids, welds (line welded joints between two and three surfaces with subsequent stress design)
- Output of stresses, stress ratios, stress ranges, and strains
- Limit stress depending on the assigned material or a user-defined input
- Individual specification of the results to be calculated through freely assignable setting types
- Non-modal result details with prepared formula display and additional result display on the cross-section level of members
- Output of the design check formulas used

- General stress analysis
- Automatic import of internal forces from RFEM/RSTAB
- Graphical and numerical output of stresses, strains, clearance, and design ratios fully integrated in RFEM/RSTAB
- User-defined specification of the limit stress
- Summary of similar structural components for the design
- Wide range of customization options for graphical output
- Clearly arranged result tables for a quick overview after the design
- Simple traceability of the results due to the complete documentation of the calculation method including all formulas
- High productivity due to the minimal amount of input data required
- Flexibility due to detailed setting options for basis and extent of calculations
- Gray Zone Display for Unimportant Value Ranges: Product Feature "Stress-Strain Analysis with Gray Zone Display"
