Installation of Water Tanks in the USA

Aquamate, a leading manufacturer of corrugated water tanks in Australia, plans to enter the North American market by the end of 2016. Therefore, it is necessary to verify that the tanks meet all US codes and standards before the end of the year.

Rocky Summit Engineering Consulting from Irving, Texas, a customer of Dlubal Software, has been responsible for the structural analysis and design of the tanks according to the American standard ANSI/AISC 360‑10.

Wooden Airship Gulliver Above DOX Centre in Prague, Czech Republic

At the beginning of December 2016, a giant wooden airship 'suspended' above the Centre for Contemporary Art in Prague, Czech Republic, has been opened to the public.

The unique airship structure made of timber and steel has been named ‘Gulliver’ and, just like the early zeppelins, it represents the eternal human desire to fly and a certain utopian ideal. Gulliver will serve as a space for literature related to the themes of DOX’s exhibitions, which are characterized by critical reflection on the situation of our contemporary world.

"RFEM is the best I have used. I have experience with RISA, STAAD, ETABS, Visual Analysis, and others. In the tensile/fabric structure world, I've tried NDN, Forten, Easy, etc. Once you get used to RFEM's interface, it has no comparison to the others. Even with typical structures, it's much easier."
