Load cases, groups and combinations can be combined in various design cases for the design of the ultimate and the serviceability limit state.

First, select the surfaces relevant for the design by using the pick function before you define the appropriate material model. The structure of layers forming the basis for the stiffness calculation, can vary. The parameters defined by the selected material model can be adjusted. The 3*3 matrix of the layers can be modified as well. In this way, RF-LAMINATE ensures a completely free selection when generating the stiffnesses.

The limit stresses of each layer is defined by the selected material. It is possible to adjust the values by user-defined specifications.

Subsequent to the design, RF-LAMINATE displays the maximum stresses, stress ratios and displacements, sorted according to load cases, surfaces or grid points. The stress ratio can be displayed for any kind of stress type. The location currently active is highlighted in the RFEM analysis model.

In addition to the results evaluation in tables, it is possible to represent the stresses and stress ratios graphically in the RFEM work window. The colors and values assigned in the panel can be adjusted appropriately.
