- Run RWIND Simulation "As Administrator". To do this, right-click the RWIND Simulation icon and select "Run As Administrator".
- Click the "Activate Now" button to confirm the authorization check.
Then, the "RWIND Simulation 1.xx Demo Authorization Status" dialog box appears. - In the "RWIND Simulation 1.xx Demo Authorization Status" dialog box, select the "Software Key" option in the Authorization Method area and click the "Activation via Email" function in the lower part.
This opens the "Activation by Email" dialog box. - In the "Activation by Email" dialog box, enter your license information (license number and/or name and address of the institution that purchased the program license) based on your contract documents.
Furthermore, enter a user-defined description of the workstation to be activated under "Description of Workspace" and the RWIND Simulation level with the expiry date of the activation to be carried out under "Required Authorization".
Then, click the "Generate Request Code" button to confirm your entries.
The "RWIND Simulation 1.xx Demo" dialog box appears. - Check the data entered in the "RWIND Simulation 1.xx Demo" dialog box. If they are correct, click "OK" to confirm the dialog box.
This opens the "Activation by Email" dialog box. - The "Activation by Email" dialog box consists of three parts. In the "Step 2" tab, the required request code is displayed on the left. Copy this text block to the Windows clipboard by clicking the "Copy Request Code" button, then pasting the code into a blank email with [Ctrl]+[V] or using the Windows paste function. Send this email to [email protected] for further processing.
- You will receive an activation code from us. In the dialog box, go to the "Step 3" tab and enter this code in the "Activation Code" text box.
Then, click the "Activate Now" button to run the activation process.
Upon successful authorization, you will receive a confirmation message and it will be possible to use the program without restrictions.
Offline Authorization of RWIND with Software Key
How can I authorize the RWIND Simulation program offline with a software key on a single‑user computer via email?
In RFEM, the oriented strand board (OSB) material is available for the USA and Canada. The material parameters are taken from the "Panel Design Specification manual".
Using the "Beam Panel" thickness type, you can model timber panel elements in 3D space. You just specify the surface geometry and the timber panel elements are generated using an internal member-surface construct, including the simulation of the connection flexibility.
Among others, the following cross-laminated timber manufacturers are available in the layer structure library:
- Binderholz (USA)
- KLH (USA, CAN)
- Kalesnikoff (USA, CAN)
- Nordic Structures (USA, CAN)
- Mercer Mass Timber
- SmartLam
- Sterling Structural
- Superstructures listed in Lignatec Edition 32 "Cross-Laminated Timber of Swiss Production"
By importing a structure from the layer structure library, all relevant parameters are adopted automatically. The library is continually updated.
Would you like to calculate curved beams (for example, made of glued-laminated timber)? For this purpose, you can use various section distributions for members:
- Curved
- Pitched cambered beam with constant height
- Pitched cambered beam with variable height
- Fish beam | Parabolic
