The application of RTslab particularly provides the following advantages:

• fast familiarisation because of learning wizzard and extraordinarily simple application//handling with complete undo/redo
• toolbar adapts to the working habit of the user
• powerful calculation and design with the FEM system TRIMAS® in the background
• modification and subsequent calculation with complete output of the results is made by pushing a button
• clear preview of the result list and freely configurable result output

Windows® programme with graphically interactive input, calculation, design and evaluation of plane, rectangular and polygonal slab systems. This application is simple to handle, has an integrated user's guide and contains in detail the following features:

• integrated learning wizzard with processing hints
• interfaces to ZEICON® and DXF for direct import of CAD data
• complete undo / redo functionality at system input
• object- and context-sensitive working environment
• clear toolbars for all essential programme functions
• simple 2D constructions for slab fields, walls, columns and box outs as well as point, line and area loads on grids, on axes and in dialogue
• integration of downstand beams for the illustration of more realistic stiffnesses
• 3D viewer for the visualisation of slab geometry and loads
• powerful FE solution with the calculation core of TRIMAS®
• element formulation according to the Reissner- Mindlin-Theory for arbitrarily thin and thick slabs
• consideration of an elastic bedding
• animation of deformations for a better control of input data for each load case
• definition of arbitrary section window for the graphics in the output list
• loading with automatic load case generation and reinforcement steel (As) superposition for each field
• import function for loads from previous slab applications
• bending design for reinforced concrete for DIN 1045, DIN 1045-1, EN 1992-1 and according NAs for DE, AT, SK/CZ and UK 
• shear design for reinforced concrete for DIN 1045, DIN 1045-1, EN 1992-1 and according NAs for DE, AT, SK/CZ and UK 
  
• punching verification for DIN 1045, DIN 1045-1, EN 1992-1 and according NAs for DE, AT, SK/CZ and UK
• automatic design of areas near walls and columns
• illustration of results via isolines with freely settable contour lines
• preview for position and load drawing
• result preview for deformations, bearing reactions and slab stress resultants as well as reinforcement steel (As) values
• selective output control with preconfiguration, document preview and outline
• automatic generation of the complete result list including diagrams and graphics
• list generator for RTPrint- or RTF-format
• Online supports and manual, introductory example

The slab system application can also be started as an integrated tool from the CAD programme ZEICON®. In this case, the design results from the internal data transfer are available and can be used directly for the reinforcement of the slab.
