Hello everyone,
I am a structural engineering student currently working on advanced modeling and documentation with RFEM.
I am trying to understand how complete structural reports are prepared in real engineering practice, especially those submitted to municipalities or approval authorities.
I would greatly appreciate it if someone could share:
Examples of FULL RFEM reports from real projects such as:
-
Multi-storey buildings
-
Complex structures (halls, frames, stadium roofs, trusses, timber structures, etc.)
-
Combined concrete + steel projects
Ideally, the reports should include:
1. General model information
-
basic project data
-
materials
-
cross-sections
-
main assumptions
2. Loads and standards
-
load definitions according to Eurocodes or local standards
-
load tables
-
ULS and SLS combinations
3. Analysis results
-
type of analysis used
-
internal forces on members, plates/surfaces
-
diagrams (N, V, M, stresses, etc.)
4. Design checks
-
reinforced concrete design (required reinforcement, governing combinations, crack check, deflection check)
-
steel design (buckling, LTB, shear, bending, deflection)
5. Summary
-
final diagrams
-
reinforcement summaries
-
BOQ if available (optional)
I do not need any confidential project data — anonymized reports are perfectly fine.
My goal is simply to understand how a complete and professional RFEM report is structured, exactly as produced in real engineering offices.
If anyone has templates, examples, or practical advice, I would be very grateful!
Thank you in advance ![]()

PS:
If possible, I would also love to start longer discussions about the entire structural design workflow in RFEM — from the very first step of setting up a building model, defining loads, analysis types, load combinations, all the way to the final design checks and preparation of the official report.
I believe this would be very helpful for students and young engineers who want to understand the real-world workflow from start to finish.
