Knowledge Base Articles
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.
Building Overview (KB1866)
To evaluate whether it is also necessary to consider the second-order analysis in a dynamic calculation, the sensitivity coefficient of interstory drift θ is provided in EN 1998‑1, Sections 2.2.2 and 4.4.2.2. It can be calculated and analyzed using RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9.
Reduction of Building to Cantilever Structure The individual mass points represent stories. The deflection due to the normal compression forces shown in (a) is (b) converted into equivalent moments of displacement or shear forces (KB1867)
For the ultimate limit state design, EN 1998‑1, Sections 2.2.2 and 4.4.2.2 require a calculation considering the second‑order theory (P‑Δ effect). This effect may be neglected only if the interstory drift sensitivity coefficient θ is less than 0.1.

Product Features
Feature 002819 | Flow Field Quantities

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 002817 | Output of Formulas by AI Chatbot Mia

Are you looking for a formula relevant for your structural design? Just ask our AI chatbot Mia!

Mia shows you the right formula, with explanations, if necessary.

Feature 002807 | 3D Display of FSM Results

In the "Edit Section" dialog box, you can display the buckling shapes of the Finite Strip Method (FSM) as a 3D graphic.

Feature 002806 | Visual Objects

In RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9, you have the option to enter "Visual Objects" as guide objects. You can import the file formats 3ds, stl, and obj.

These objects allow you to create a better reference to the dimensions.
