Headquarters in Tiefenbach/ Germany
About the dveloper Ing.-Software Dlubal
Development in Prague/Czech Republic
20 Years of experience in Structural Analysis Software
Currently have ~100 Employees
Software is used World-Wide in 40 Countries
Over 7000 Users World-Wide
Just install and start working !!! No Special training needed.
Why chose RFEM?
- Most Simple to use
Input through Graphics/ Dialogues/Tables
Completely object oriented – Just click on any object and change the properties
Locating an object or node is very simple even in a huge model
Solutions to handle singularities caused by nodal supports or nodal loads
Huge libray of predefined parametric models to suit various industry needs
Why chose RFEM?
- Huge library of parametric models
The more interesting is user can create their own parametric structure library
Cooling towers
Tanks
Silos
Shells
Shear walls
Folded Plates
Haunched Knee Frames
Rectangular/Triangular masts
And hundreds of other structural models...
Why chose RFEM?
- Huge library of parametric models
Create objects using formula editor
Why chose RFEM?
- Parametric modellingJust change the variable in the formula, the whole structure will be recreated including loadings ...Considerable increase in your productivity!!!
Just create members, slabs, plates, walls, openings and solids – Program automatically creates mesh generation... Connectivity problems are elminated !!!
Why chose RFEM?
- Automeshing capabilities
Further Automesh refinements at selcted nodes..
Just create objects/ surfaces program can auotmatically create intersections
Why chose RFEM?
- Automatic creation of surface intersections
Very powerful options to model complicated surfaces and intersections of various parts of equipments/structures
Creates surfaces from members
RFEM for special applications
- Design of steel girdersBuckiling analysis and calculation of buckling load factros
Checking of surfaces for allowable stresses
Design of curved beams/girders
Design of beams with openings Design of beams with stiffners
Crane legs
RFEM for special applications
- Design of box girders
Whole model
Optimization of tapered sections, which will be largely benefitted by Pre- Engineered Building Construction Companies
RFEM for special applications
- Portal frames and optimisation of tapered sections
Reactor subjected to large differential temperatures
RFEM for special applications
- Material non-linear analysis
User can define the allowable stresses in the steel surfaces, program will report the pass or fail with maximum stress ratios ..Extremely useful in the process industry when working on storage tanks, Pressure Vessels, Heat Exchangers, Boilers and etc…
RFEM for special applications
- Design of steel surfaces
Very comprehensive report generation with in few pages which saves large amount of money towards printing.
User need to specify the bore hole information, program automatically calculate C1 and C2 values
RFEM for special applications
- Soil Structure interaction
Option to specify the normal and shear springs, which is useful for modeling pile elements
Possible to carry out geometric non linear analysis
RFEM for special applications
- Geometric non linear analysis
Cable elements: large deformation analysis is carried out according to Newton-Raphson
Analysis and design of glass surfaces (with or with out layers)
RFEM for special applications
- Analysis and design of Glass surfaces
Possibility to consider geometric non linear option
Bolt modeling using contact elements
RFEM for special applications
- Modeling using contact elements
IS : Design according Indian Code IS 800
RFEM for special applications
- steel member design for various country codes
EC3: Design according to Euro Code 3
AISC: Design according to AISC (LRFD or ASD)
Calcualtion of Shear reinforcements in concrete plates, which is critical for heavily loaded Slabs, Rafts, Machine foundations, Abutment Foundations and etc.
RFEM for special applications
- Thick plate design for concrete surfaces
EC2: Design according to Euro Code 2
Plate design for punching and cracked sections, Beam and Column design
Tower Type: Triangular/ Rectangular
RFEM for special applications
- Telecom/Transmission Tower Modelling
Library of vertical bracings
Library of horizontal bracings
Library of cross arms
Tower equipments wizard
RFEM for special applications
- Telecom/Transmission Tower Modelling
Tower loading wizard
Different time histories can be applied in different directions simultaneously.
RFEM for special applications
- Dynamic analysis
Outstanding presentation of results using graphics and tables
RFEM Print report functions
- Outstanding presentation of results
Huge savings on printing costs because of smart representation of results summary
Excellent interoperability with direct links and generic interfaces to exchange models to various Analysis, Detailing, Plant Engineering and CAD software
RFEM import & Export options
- Excellent interoperability
Import options Export Options
Stress & Fatigue design for crane runway and welds
Deformation analysis
Plate buckling design for wheel load introduction
Stand alone/Add on applications
- Crane Girder Design ( Din Code)
PLATE-BUCKLING analyzes safety against buckling for rectangular plates according to DIN 18800 part 3
The plates can be reinforced with horizontal or vertical stiffeners (flat plate, angle, T-stiffener, trapezoidal stiffener, U-section, bulb flat steel).
The load on the edges of the plate is optionally user-defined or can be imported from RFEM.
Stand alone/Add on applications
- FEM Plate Buckiling analysis for stiffened plates ( Din)
Very comprehensive composite girder design
Stand alone applications
- Composite Girder Design ( Euro Code 4)
Stand alone/Add on applications
- Shape Thin Advanced Section Property Calculator
Cross-Section Properties and Design of Thin-Walled Sections
Integrated Steel Connections design
Stand alone/Add on applications
- in brief
Timber design
Imperfections
