Canonical: https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/503263/RFEM

> RFEM 6 is a finite element analysis (FEA) software created by Dlubal Software. It is a 3D structural analysis and design solution for engineers working on a range of structures, from single-span girders to complex 3D shell structures. RFEM 6 allows for fast and efficient modeling of these structures, which can consist of plates, walls, shells, and members.&#10;&#10;The software offers features to support structural engineers. RFEM 6 provides linear and nonlinear structural analysis capabilities, including second-order and large deformation analysis. It also integrates with add-ons, enabling users to carry out additional analyses and design checks according to various international standards for concrete, steel, timber, and other materials.&#10;&#10;RFEM 6 has a user-friendly and intuitive interface, which facilitates efficient modeling and result evaluation. The program's input technology allows users to quickly learn to operate the software and create simple to complex structural models effectively and intuitively.
