Question
Why is it always displayed during the calculation that the program performs a nonlinear analysis?Answer
Even if the program does not calculate a nonlinear material, it may calculate a nonlinear algebraic equation according to the second-order or large deformation analysis. Therefore, the design is not only nonlinear because of the geometrical material nonlinearities, but also because of the nonlinear physical analysis method.The attached video shows that if the nonlinear behavior of the tension beam is not considered during the calculation, a linear analysis is displayed in load cases and a nonlinear analysis is displayed in load combinations. The reason for this is the nonlinear design according to second-order analysis in the load combination.

Structural Analysis Models for Download
Download numerous structural models (for example, RFEM, RSTAB, or RWIND files) to utilize them for training purposes or for your projects.
- How can I use the COM interface to B. delete all nodes or members in a model?
- Is it possible to keep the results from RWIND Simulation when deleting the FE mesh if I only adjust materials or support conditions?
- How can I change the colors of the selection and preselection?
- After the calculation in the RF‑/DYNAM Pro - Equivalent Loads add-on module, the size of my file has increased significantly. The performance has worsened enormously. What could be the reason for this?
- Is it possible to make the generated member loads from area loads via plane to act eccentrically on the member cross-section?
- Why are my imperfections displayed graphically in different ways and can I adjust the display?
- What happens with the programs and add-on modules in the case of the timeout of a network license? And how can I increase the timeout?
- Why is it not possible to select a load case for design in the RF‑/STEEL add-on module, although it is defined in RFEM/RSTAB?
