Generation of Moving Loads on Surfaces
RF‑MOVE Surfaces | Features
- Parameterized load positions of different concentrated, distributed, surface, and axle loads
- Access to a library with different axle load models
- Favorable or unfavorable load application considering influence lines and surfaces
- Summary of several moving loads in one load scheme
- Generation of a result combination for determination of the most unfavorable internal forces
- Possible to save load schemes for further use in other structures
RF‑MOVE Surfaces | Input
Surfaces with moving loads are selected graphically in the RFEM model. You can apply loads with several different sets of movement on one surface at the same time.
The 'lane' is defined by means of line sets. You can select them graphically in the model. In addition, you can enter the increment of the individual load steps. Several load types are available; for example, single, linear, rectangular, circular, and various axle loads. They can be applied in local and in global directions.
The different loads are summarized in load models. The module assigns defined load models to the sets of lines and creates individual load cases based on these data.
RF‑MOVE Surfaces | Generation / Results
You can create various load cases with a single mouse click. After the generation, the numbers of created load cases and result combinations are displayed.
The RF-MOVE Surfaces add-on module does not have any result windows. You can check the created load cases including loads in RFEM.
Descriptions of the individual moving loads are created on the basis of the respective load step number. However, it is possible to edit the descriptions in RFEM.
You can export all data in tables to MS Excel.

In the "Edit Section" dialog box, you can display the buckling shapes of the Finite Strip Method (FSM) as a 3D graphic.
- Design of five types of seismic force-resisting systems (SFRS) includes Special Moment Frame (SMF), Intermediate Moment Frame (IMF), Ordinary Moment Frame (OMF), Ordinary Concentrically Braced Frame (OCBF), and Special Concentrically Braced Frame (SCBF)
- Ductility check of the width-to thickness ratios for webs and flanges
- Calculation of the required strength and stiffness for stability bracing of beams
- Calculation of the maximum spacing for stability bracing of beams
- Calculation of the required strength at hinge locations for stability bracing of beams
- Calculation of the column required strength with the option to neglect all bending moments, shear, and torsion for overstrength limit state
- Design check of column and brace slenderness ratios
The seismic design result is categorized into two sections: member requirements and connection requirements.
The "Seismic Requirements" include the Required Flexural Strength and the Required Shear Strength of the beam-to-column connection for moment frames. They are listed in the ‘Moment Frame Connection by Member’ tab. For braced frames, the Required Connection Tensile Strength and the Required Connection Compressive Strength of the brace are listed in the ‘Brace Connection by Member’ tab.
The program provides the performed design checks in tables. The design check details clearly display the formulas and references to the standard.
Using the "Beam Panel" thickness type, you can model timber panel elements in 3D space. You just specify the surface geometry and the timber panel elements are generated using an internal member-surface construct, including the simulation of the connection flexibility.
