Question
In the dialog box 'Edit Load Cases' of the load case 'Dead Load', it is possible to consider the dead load of a structure in the [General Data] section.How can I display the considered dead load of the structure graphically?
Answer
Displaying the dead load which refers to the entered structure can be activated in the Project Navigator - Display.
To do this, check the box under 'Load' → 'Dead load'.

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.
- Can I 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?
- Is it possible to make the generated member loads from area loads via plane to act eccentrically on the member cross-section?
- 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?
- 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 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?
