Knowledge Base Articles

KB 001874 | LTB Analysis According to ADM 2020 Section F.4 in RFEM 6

Lateral-Torsional Buckling (LTB) is a phenomenon that occurs when a beam or structural member is subjected to bending and the compression flange is not sufficiently supported laterally. This leads to a combination of lateral displacement and twisting. It is a critical consideration in the design of structural elements, especially in slender beams and girders.

KB 001880 | Design of Cable Structures in RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9

In this article, you will learn how to model and design cable structures in RFEM 6 or RSTAB 9.

KB 001879 | Influence of Bending Stiffness of Cables

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.

KB 001877 | ASCE 7-22 and NBC 2020 Seismic P-Delta Considerations in RFEM 6

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.

Product Features

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.

Feature 002820 | Limit Plastic Strain for Welds

In the ultimate configuration of the steel joint design, you have the option to modify the limit plastic strain for welds.

With the "Base Plate" component, you design base plate connections with cast-in anchors. Dabei werden Platten, Schweißnähte, Verankerung und Stahl-Beton-Interaktion analysiert.

Feature 002822 | Generating Surfaces from Member with RSECTION Cross-Section

In RFEM, you can generate surfaces from members with the library cross-sections as well as from the members with the RSECTION cross-section.
