Question
In the wind load generator for duopitch/troughed roof, it is not possible to click OK. How should I set up the generator so it will be possible to generate the load?Answer
The problem is in the orientation of the model. In General Data of the model, the positive orientation of the global Z-axis is set to upwards. However, the entire model is created as if it is downwards. Therefore, the model has the foundations pointing upwards and the roof pointing downwards. Unfortunately, it does not help to simply change the orientation of the global Z-axis in this case. It is necessary to rotate the model so that the load generators can work correctly.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).
