Knowledge Base Articles

KB 001874 | LTB Analysis According to ADM 2020 Section F.4 in RFEM 6

Lateral-Torsional Buckling (LTB) is a phenomenon that occurs when a beam or structural member is subjected to bending and the compression flange is not sufficiently supported laterally. This leads to a combination of lateral displacement and twisting. It is a critical consideration in the design of structural elements, especially in slender beams and girders.

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.

KB 001877 | ASCE 7-22 and NBC 2020 Seismic P-Delta Considerations in RFEM 6

The ASCE 7-22 Standard [1], Sect. 12.9.1.6 specifies when P-delta effects should be considered when running a modal response spectrum analysis for seismic design. In the NBC 2020 [2], Sent. 4.1.8.3.8.c gives only a short requirement that sway effects due to the interaction of gravity loads with the deformed structure should be considered. Therefore, there may be situations where second-order effects, also known as P-delta, must be considered when carrying out a seismic analysis.

Product Features

Feature 002827 | Stresses Within Members

You can display the stress results within members by using clipping planes.

Feature 002824 | OSB Material for USA and Canada

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".

Feature 002823 | Generate Bracing in Cells

The "Bracing in Cells" function allows you to generate diagonal bracing with just a few clicks. You can find this feature under Tools → Generate Model – Members → Bracing in Cells.

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.
