What is RFEM?

The successful structural analysis program RFEM 6 by Dlubal Software is the basis of a modular program family that you can customize and combine according to your individual requirements. In the main program RFEM, you can define structures, materials, and loads of planar and spatial structural systems consisting of plates, walls, shells, and members. Furthermore, you can create combined structures as well as model solid and contact elements.

RFEM provides you with the calculation of deformations, internal forces, stresses, support forces, and soil contact stresses. Load wizards simplify wind, snow, and other environmental influences. The add-ons integrated directly in the program allow you to easily carry out additional analyses and design checks according to various standards (for example, in reinforced concrete, steel, and timber structures).

Join our excited customers and compile your own program package that is precisely tailored to your individual needs and projects. It is possible to upgrade the program at any time.
