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

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
