Framework

RSX

The RSX program is used to calculate the cutting forces and support forces for general bar-shaped load-bearing structures as 2D or, optionally, 3D systems. The graphical input with templates and wizards quickly provides a calculable system. The initial values for a design for steel, timber, reinforced concrete or aluminum are provided with the fully automatic superposition. Eigenvalues and eigenmodes can be calculated for dynamic investigations. The scope of performance depends on the purchased add-ons.

RSX-3D | 3D Calculation

The basic module is conceived for the calculation of plane frames. This add-on enhances the modelling to 3D systems.

RSX-M-B | Design of Reinforced Concrete

RSX can be used without defining materials. The basic licence includes the 2D calculation of internal forces and support reactions as well as the automatic superposition. Optionally, a design module for reinforced concrete structures is available.

RSX-M-S | Design of Steel

RSX can be used without defining materials. The basic licence includes the 2D calculation of internal forces and support reactions as well as the automatic superposition. Optionally, a design module for steel (including aluminium) structures is available.

RSX-M-H | Design of Timber

RSX can be used without defining materials. The basic licence includes the 2D calculation of internal forces and support reactions as well as the automatic superposition. Optionally, a design module for timber structures is available.

RSX-P | Generation of Loads with Panels
  • Freely definable areas for defining area loads
  • Any assignment of members for load transfer
  • Distribution of the surface loads to the members via an FEM calculation
RSX-ST | Stability Steel
  • Stability verifications for single bars and bar beams
  • The calculation is based on the verifications from the BTII+ program.
  • The licence is automatically available if the BTII+ program is purchased.
RSX-DY | Dynamics

Enables the calculation of resonance frequency and mode shapes for load cases and user-defined superpositions.

Structural calculation
