Question
In the case of a concentrated load in the middle of a cable, I obtain plausible support and cable forces. However, the deformation is not plausible. What is the reason for this?Answer
This graphical representation results because of the display factor for the deformations. If you set this factor to 1, you obtain realistic deformation without scaling.
The factor can be specified the panel. The panel appears as soon as the results are available. You can also display it using the menu "View → Control Panel."
With the factor 1, it is obvious that the force in the middle results in a stretching of the cable. The stretching leads to an upward shifting of the outer nodes.

User -defined visibilities facilitate program handling. Once created, any model groups can be quickly hidden or shown. This facilitates, among other things the analysis of the results in larger 3D structures but also the creation of the report. When changing the geometry, the existing visibilities may have to be updated.

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 change the colors of the selection and preselection?
- Can I have generated member loads from surface loads act eccentrically on the member section by means of a plane?
- After calculating the add -on module RF-/DYNAM Pro - Equivalent Loads, the size of my file has increased significantly. The performance has deteriorated enormously. What could be the reason for this?
- Why are my imperfections displayed differently and can I adjust the display?
- What happens to the programs and add -on modules if the network license times out? And how can I increase the timeout?
- Why is it not possible to select a load case in the RF-/STEEL add-on module for design, although it is defined in RFEM/RSTAB?
- Does the load generation also work for curved members?
- What effects can renumbering elements have on the printout report and the add -on modules?
- In my model, some surfaces are displayed in gray, while others are displayed in white without a gray filling. The "solid transparent" display type is selected for the graphics. How can all surfaces be displayed in gray?
- How can I get the member end forces to design the connections?
