Question
The warning 282449 appears: "Lines No. ... are equal." Do the identical lines have an effect on the calculation? Do I have to delete the identical lines?Answer
It may happen that surfaces are not connected though they should be. In this respect, double lines may have an effect on the calculation. It is better to clean the model and remove all double lines.
You can quickly find the double lines by using the feature "Tools → Model Check → Overlapping Lines." This tool also allows you to export the line pairs as an Excel list or create partial views (see the highlighted buttons in Figure 02).
However, it is often not easy to delete the lines as they are assigned to different objects. So if you delete one of the lines, you also delete a surface, for example. Therefore, you should first check for all structural components whether the lines can be deleted, and change the boundary lines, if necessary. Im beigefügten Video kann man sehen, wie die Begrenzungslinien der Flächen schnell ausgetauscht werden können. Die übrig gebliebene doppelte Linie lässt sich im Anschluss problemlos löschen.

Favorite groups in the cross-section library
The cross-section library in RFEM 5 and RSTAB 8 offers the option to save certain cross-section selections in different favorite groups.

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).

- 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 the deflection of the reinforced concrete floor sometimes greater when selecting a larger basic reinforcement?
- 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?
- I have a question about message no.47 in the RFEM program. What is the exact meaning of the word integrate? What is the resulting effect?
