RF-DEFORM 4.xx

Deformation and Deflection Analysis for Members and Sets of Members 
The RFEM add-on module RF-DEFORM performs the deformation analysis of individual members and complete sets of members. The allowable limit deformations can be set individually in relation to the undeformed system and displaced member ends.
Features

  • Deflection analysis for members and sets of members
  • Graphical selection of single members and sets of members for design
  • Limit deformations referring to global, local or resulting member directions
  • Limit deformations in relation to lengths of single members or continuous members, or specification of absolute deformation values
  • Deformation analysis for extreme values from different actions
  • Option to apply different design cases
  • Free and RFEM independent selection of units for lengths and deformations
  • Integration of deformation analyses into the global RFEM printout report
  
Input

The design-relevant data is entered in two separate tables. Due to the module's clear data overview, you will learn to work with the program quite easily.

First, the actions that you want to design must be defined. Then, you can determine the members and sets of members manually or graphically and assign the respective allowable limit deformations. The deformations can be set in relation to the deformed member ends or the undeformed system.
Input: Reference to deformations and limit deformations for members and sets of members
 
Calculation

In case the results of the actions to be designed are not available, RF-DEFORM starts the RFEM calculation automatically to determine the deformations by using the settings of the calculation parameters defined in RFEM.

Subsequently, the program determines the relative deformations of the members and sets of members selected for the design.
Calculation process
 
Designs

RF-DEFORM compares the relative and absolute deformations with the respective limit values in clear arranged tables. In this way, you can evaluate the design results quickly. If the design of a member or set of member has failed, the program highlights the relevant element.

The designs performed by RF-DEFORM can be integrated into the printout report in the same way as data from RFEM.
Output: Deformation analysis for governing members and sets of members
