You can download this structural model to use it for training purposes or for your projects. However, we do not assume any guarantee or liability for the accuracy or completeness of the model.
The deformation process of the global deformation components can be represented as a movement sequence.
The results of solid stresses can be displayed as colored 3D points in the finite elements.
Compared to the RF‑/STEEL add-on module (RFEM 5 / RSTAB 8), the following new features have been added to the Stress-Strain Analysis add-on for RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9:
- Treatment of members, surfaces, solids, welds (line welded joints between two and three surfaces with subsequent stress design)
- Output of stresses, stress ratios, stress ranges, and strains
- Limit stress depending on the assigned material or a user-defined input
- Individual specification of the results to be calculated through freely assignable setting types
- Non-modal result details with prepared formula display and additional result display on the cross-section level of members
- Output of the design check formulas used
RSECTION contains an extensive library of rolled sections, as well as parametric thin-walled and massive cross-sections. You can compose them or supplement them with new elements.
Graphical tools and functions allow you to model complex section shapes in the usual way common for CAD programs. The graphical input supports, among other things, the setting of arcs, circles, ellipses, parabolas, and NURBS. As an alternative, you can import a DXF file and use this as the basis for further modeling. You can easily model a section consisting of different materials with minimum effort.
Furthermore, a parameterized input allows you to enter the cross-section dimensions and internal forces in such a way that they depend on certain variables.
You can also carry out all inputs by means of a script.
