RFEM

RFEM supports structural modelling, analysis and code-based design for buildings and structures.

On the software discovery list. Connector development and release dates have not been announced.

Workflow ideas

Model a structural system

Start from the idealised geometry, material assumptions and analysis scope. In the intended RFEM preview, model a structural system; the visible result is a solver-ready model view with mesh regions and constraints exposed. Review units, connectivity, mesh suitability and model assumptions before accepting or exporting it.

Run design situations

Begin with the selected load cases, contacts and solution controls. In the intended RFEM preview, run design situations; the visible result is a configured analysis state with loads and boundary conditions visible. Review load paths, restraints, convergence controls and applicable codes before accepting or exporting it.

Review utilisation and deformation

Use the completed result set and acceptance quantities. In the intended RFEM preview, review utilisation and deformation; the visible result is plots or tables that connect response values to the model. Review convergence, sensitivity, units and engineering reasonableness before accepting or exporting it.
