Question
I have a conic surface where the surface load should act in the projection around the surface. Is this possible?Answer
For a surface load, such an entry is not possible as there is no load type that can have the force act locally on the projected surface. In this case, you need to use line loads. These can later be loaded according to the line rotation. The detailed procedure is shown in the video. As you can see in the video, the lines have to be integrated manually into quadrangle surfaces. Furthermore, you should check the line rotation.Keywords

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).
