Member Elastic Foundations 2: Shear Springs
An elastic foundation can be applied to a member. Thus, the influence of the soil is usually included in the modeling. Member elastic foundations can only be defined for the "Beam" member type.

The surface reinforcement is entered directly on the RFEM level. The defined surface reinforcements can be selected individually and the usual editing functions Copy, Mirror, or Rotate can be used when entering the surface reinforcement.-
The limit stress is activated, but my stress ratio is “non-designable” in the Stress-Strain Analysis add-on. What could be the reason?
- In RFEM 6, is it possible to display a graphic with the distribution of the required reinforcement in the DIN A0 format?
- How do I define a member as a cantilever and not as supported at both ends for serviceability or deflection design?
- Where can I find the graphical results of punching shear in the concrete design? Especially the distribution of shear forces at the critical perimeter or the punching loads.
- Is it possible to display the reinforcement description in RFEM 6?
-
I would like to export nodal support forces of several load cases, load combinations and result combinations into an Excel spreadsheet in RFEM 6. How should I proceed?
- Where can find the option to hide the defined types (for example, design supports or effective lengths)?
- How do I create a user-defined Design Situation with my own chosen load combinations?
- Can I define a different bar size in the RFEM 6 Concrete Design add-on other than the default bar sizes available in the drop-down?
- Can the RFEM 6 Concrete Design add-on automatically design member and surface reinforcement?
- In RFEM 6, is it possible to display a graphic with the distribution of the required reinforcement in the DIN A0 format?
