Contact Solid
Glossary Term
The "General" tab of the solid dialog box describes the following parameters:
- Solid type, "Contact" in this case
- Boundary surfaces of the solid
- Material of the solid
The "Contact" tab manages the following information:
- Two surfaces A and B, between which the contact properties are effective
- Properties of the contact perpendicular to both surfaces (full force transmission, failure under compression or tension)
- Properties of the contact parallel to both surfaces (full force transmission, failure if contact perpendicular to surfaces failed, rigid or elastic friction with or without limit, elastic solid behavior)
The following requirements must be met for the definition of a contact solid:
- Two contact surfaces must be parallel to each other and have the same dimensions.
- Both contact surfaces must have the same integrated elements, such as nodes and lines, at the same height.
- Each lateral connecting surface must consist of four boundary lines.

Displaying Temporary Analysis Models from RF-GLASS
When using the RF‑GLASS add‑on module, you can define in the main program just the geometry as well as the load situation of the structural component to be designed. The respective support conditions and all further design-relevant definitions, for example the layer structure and support conditions, can be further specified in RF‑GLASS.
Material Model Orthotropic Masonry 2D
The material model Orthotropic Masonry 2D is an elastoplastic model that additionally allows softening of the material, which can be different in the local x- and y-direction of a surface. The material model is suitable for (unreinforced) masonry walls with in-plane loads.
- Why do I get high differences when designing a longitudinally stiffened buckling panel compared to the German and Austrian National Annexes?
- How can I perform the stability analysis for an edgewise supported flat steel, for example 100/5, in RF-/STEEL EC3? Although the cross-section is rotated by 90 ° in RFEM/RSTAB, it is displayed lying flat in RF-/STEEL EC3.
- How can I create a curved or curved section?
- How are the signs to be interpreted for the release results of the line release and line hinges?
- How is the rotational stiffness of a buckling stiffener determined in FE-BUCKLING?
- How are hot -dip galvanized components considered for fire protection in the Steel EC 3 add -on module?
- Is it possible to manually specify a longitudinal reinforcement for the design in RF-PUNCH Pro?
- After the design with RF-/TIMBER Pro, I had a cross-section optimized. Why is the utilization of the optimized cross -section now exceeded?
- Is it possible to design the support pressure or the sleeper pressure in RX-TIMBER?
- Can I simulate the cracked state of a concrete cross -section for a bending beam with the "Isotropic Nonlinear Elastic 1D" material model?
