Powerful Structural Analysis Software RFEM 6
RFEM 6 has a rich library of cross-section and materials, including special point-line surface attributes, which can realistically simulate a variety of complex force situations. The program is powerful in nonlinearity and form finding, which can reduce the difficulty of engineers to start. The pre-processing can be linked to the Grasshopper parameterization platform, which is convenient for spatial structural modeling as well as iterative calculations. And the post-processing interface is intuitive and user friendly, with strong extensibility and more options.

In this article, you will learn how to model and design cable structures in RFEM 6 or RSTAB 9.
This article describes and explains the influence of bending stiffness of cables on their internal forces. Furthermore, the text provides information on how this influence can be reduced.
The ASCE 7-22 Standard [1], Sect. 12.9.1.6 specifies when P-delta effects should be considered when running a modal response spectrum analysis for seismic design. In the NBC 2020 [2], Sent. 4.1.8.3.8.c gives only a short requirement that sway effects due to the interaction of gravity loads with the deformed structure should be considered. Therefore, there may be situations where second-order effects, also known as P-delta, must be considered when carrying out a seismic analysis.
The data exchange between RFEM 6 and Allplan can be done using various file formats. This article describes the data exchange of a determined surface reinforcement using the ASF interface. This allows you to display the RFEM reinforcement values as level curves or colored reinforcement images in Allplan.
In RFEM and RSTAB, you can visualize the flow field quantities of pressure, velocity, turbulence kinetic energy, and turbulence dissipation rate for the wind simulation.
The clipping planes are aligned with the respective wind direction.
In RFEM, you can generate surfaces from members with the library cross-sections as well as from the members with the RSECTION cross-section.
You can neglect openings with a certain area in the building model calculation. This function can be activated in the global settings of the building stories. A warning message appears saying that the openings have been neglected.
