Practical Applications Using Python and RFEM 6 | 2D Truss Generator
This article looks at a practical use case of programming a 2D Truss Generator GUI with Python.
-
How can I efficiently define line hinges on several surfaces?
- Why does the load wizard "Member Load from Area Load" give unnecessary concentrated loads?
- How do I define effective lengths when designing steel members in RFEM 6?
- Is it possible to display the deformation analysis of a surface (limit 0.5‰)?
- The load distribution on my members looks different when using the Load Transfer surface vs. the Load Wizards. What is the reason?
-
My beam has a continuous lateral support and therefore lateral torsional buckling (LTB) is not a concern. How do I define the effective length?
- I received an error message “Surface of incompatible type... (Surface in upper plane of building story must be of ‘Load transfer’ type)” when running the calculation. What is the reason?
- How do I include the overstrength factor(s) Ωo in the ASCE 7 load combinations?
- How do I include the overstrength factor(s), Ωo in the ASCE 7 load combinations?
- How do I include the redundancy factor(s) ρ in the ASCE 7 load combinations?
