Frequently used materials and cross-sections can be summarized in favorite lists and allow faster selection during modeling. This video shows how to create a favorite group in the material and cross-section library.

The "Filter" option in the cross‑section library allows you to show only cross‑sections of certain standards, shapes, or types. In the same window, you can also select the material.
Dlubal Software Programs provide a materials library. This library covers almost all materials commonly used in civil engineering, including the corresponding parameters for calculation and design.
RFEM and RSTAB include an extensive materials library, which can be extended by user‑defined materials. Starting with version X.05, the materials library provides a convenient full‑text search. This way, you can find materials more quickly.
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.
Extensive cross‑section and material libraries facilitate the modeling of plate and beam structures. These databases can be filtered and expanded with user-defined entries. It is possible to import and analyze special cross‑sections from SHAPE‑THIN and SHAPE‑MASSIVE.
RFEM and RSTAB models can be saved as 3D glTF models (*.glb and *.glTF formats). View the models in 3D in detail with a 3D viewer from Google or Babylon. Take your VR glasses, such as Oculus, to "walk" through the structure.
You can integrate the 3D glTF models into your own websites using JavaScript according to these instructions (as on the Dlubal website Models to Download).
With the Camera Fly Mode view option, you can fly through your RFEM and RSTAB structure. Control the direction and speed of the flight with your keyboard. Additionally, you can save the flight through your structure as a video.
The direct interface with Revit allows you to update the Revit model according to the changes you have made in RFEM or RSTAB. Depending on the modification, the Revit objects may have to be regenerated (deleting the object and subsequent regeneration). The regeneration is performed on the basis of the RFEM/RSTAB model.
If you want to avoid this regeneration, activate the check box 'Update only materials, thicknesses, and sections'. In this case, only the properties of the objects will be adjusted. Changes different from those in material, surface thickness, and section are, however, not considered in this case.
In my model, I use members with the cross-section IPE 140. Why does the cross-section of the members change if I add new members as IPE 200? How can I enter different cross-sections?
In the cross-section library, I get an error message saying that the material is not assigned to a cross-section. What should I do?
How can I import a parameterized cross-section table into the cross-section library?
How can I create a user-defined material?
How can I change the parameters of a rolled cross-section from the cross-section library?
Since only a few cross-sections are usually used for daily work, it would be advantageous if I could only display these in the cross-section library. What are the options in this case?
