Description

RFEM

General purpose fe-program with the ability of external coding in C# and VisualBasic for parametric calculations and nonlinear problems.

The finite element program RFEM is able to calculate beam, shell and volume structures in 2d or 3d. All element types can be combined in one calculation. Elements with changing status (lift off, cables, buckling,...) may be integrated. Displacement couplings between nodes are available (e.g. rigid end sections, hinges, ...). For cables the influence of the sag to the stiffness may be considered. Any kind of spring (linear, nonlinear,...) for single or combined degrees of freedom can be idealized.

In addition to the calculaton of statical problems it is possible to calculate eigenvalues (buckling,...) and dynamical problems (earthquake, free or bound vibration, dynamical loading with or without damping,...) under consideration of linear or nonlinear material properties (e.g. plasticity). All analysis may be done for small (Th.I.O.), medium (Th.II.O.) or large (Th.III.O.) displacements. Using specific solvers it is possible to calculate post buckling and snap through problems. Temperatures, residual stresses and initial displacements may be considered.

Using the C#-interface we developed our own script language for the optimized system input allowing us to handle changing tasks quickly, reliably and reproducible. With this script language, almost any verification can be led within one single program-run

Ansys Multiphysics

This multipurpose program is well suited for plenty of exceptional jobs:

Abacus Stur

General beam calculations in 2d and 3d. The program is speedy, easy to use and suitable for most of the jobs. It is possible to calculate Th.I.O. and Th.II.O., to consider changing status (e.g. lift off, cables) and springs.

ZwCAD prof.
AutoCAD LT

Programs for vector oriented drawings. Suitable for creating design and shop worksheets. Additiononal to drawing in 2d it is possible to read and work on in 3d. A din-a0 plotter allows the output of the drawings to paper sheets.

MS-Office

Office programs with word, excel, access and powerpoint with self conditioned supplements.

Libre Office

Comparable with ms-office. Allows the communication using alternative formats and opens the door to the linux world.

Compiler

Several compilers for c#, c, c++, java and javascript.

Diverse

Programs for image manipulation, text recognition, converting, ...

The office is able to use all kinds of modern communication for contact, data-transfer and project management. Access to numerous converting tools enables us to distribute the commissioned order on paper as well as in files with many data formats. This also facilitates communication while working.

Standards

The office possesses all inaugurated standards and rules in fulltext. Moreover numerous national and international standards, homologations, technical rules (e.g. for vessels), specific materials (e.g. austenite, titan, aluminium,...) and special executions (e.g. silos) are available. Importance is given to extensive specialized literature and to a broad information basis. This includes e.g. literature for welding, fatigue, prestressed constructions, special loads and much more.

Aids

Numerous dimensioning aids for a lot of varying jobs (e.g. tables, scripts, publications,...), almost given on electronic media, ease rapid working and integrating the results into the verification paper.

The available hard- and software enables the office to be flexible and best suited to optimize time resources (e.g. scanner with document feeder, recognition software,...). Supplementary precautions to ensure data safety (e.g. external mass storage, hard disk mirrors, uninterruptible power supply, firewalls, virus scanners, encoding,...) serve a maximum of security for the office and it's clients.
