Question
How do I display the load combination description according to an action category, such as "D, L, W" instead of "LC1, LC2, LC3"?
The results of solid stresses can be displayed as colored 3D points in the finite elements.
Wind loads are also not a problem in your design. You can automatically generate wind loads as member loads or area loads (RFEM) on the following structural components:
- Vertical walls
- Flat roofs
- Monopitch roofs
- Duopitch/troughed roofs
- Vertical walls with duopitch roof
- Vertical walls with flat/monopitch roof
The following standards are available to you:
- EN 1991-1-4 (including National Annexes)
- ASCE 7
- CTE DB-SE-AE
- GB 50009
Do your structures also have to withstand snowfall? Use the Snow Load Wizard to generate snow loads as member loads or surface loads.
The following standards are available:
- EN 1991-1-3 (incl. National Annexes)
- ASCE 7
- NBC
- SIA 261
- CTE DB-SE-AE
- GB 50009
- IS 875
The number of degrees of freedom in a node is no longer a global calculation parameter in RFEM (6 degrees of freedom for each mesh node in 3D models, 7 degrees of freedom for the warping torsion analysis). Thus, each node is generally considered with a different number of degrees of freedom, which leads to a variable number of equations in the calculation.
This modification speeds up the calculation, especially for models where a significant reduction of the system could be achieved (for example, trusses and membrane structures).
