S Solid

Solids are spatial bodies which are defined by surfaces on all sides.

Additional properties can be assigned to the solid such as homogeneous, isotropic or orthotropic materials, properties of an ideal gas or contact properties between two surfaces.

Entering in RFEM

Solids can be entered and defined by using the menu "Insert" → "Model Data" → "Solids" or the Data Navigator. Select the surrounding surfaces and define the solid type in the dialog box.

Displaying FE Mesh Quality

As a tool for structural analyses of two-dimensional components, an FE mesh quality display is available in RFEM.

FE Mesh Settings

When modeling and designing glass panes in RF-GLASS, you have two different options for the FE mesh settings.

Display Options for Result Values on Surfaces

You can create various settings in order to achieve a clearly‑arranged display of the result values. For example, some users may not want the white background in text bubbles. You can adjust the background in "Display Properties" using the Transparent and Background color option.

Factor for Taking into Account the Unloading of Soil Pressure

In RF-/FOUNDATION Pro, the user can freely select the proportion of the relieving soil pressure by means of the factor k_red.

Layered FE Mesh for Solids

For solids, there is another option for the FE mesh setting. You can arrange a layered FE mesh in addition to a holistic FE mesh refinement. For this option, you can perform a defined division of the solid with finite elements between two parallel surfaces. This option is particularly suitable for very large solid geometries with a small height.

Increased Calculation Performance by Reducing the Nodal Degrees of Freedom

The number of degrees of freedom in a node is no longer a global calculation parameter in RFEM (6 degrees of freedom for each mesh node in 3D models, 7 degrees of freedom for the warping torsion analysis). Thus, each node is generally considered with a different number of degrees of freedom, which leads to a variable number of equations in the calculation.

This modification speeds up the calculation, especially for models where a significant reduction of the system could be achieved (e.g. trusses and membrane structures).
