First Steps with RFEM
Description
When generating member loads via plane, the program internally generates cells. These cells significantly influence the created member loads. Therefore, special attention should be paid to including nonloaded members for the cell generation. To access the options, click the [Settings for Load Generation] button.

Depending on stiffness, mass, and damping, structures react differently to wind action.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- How to calculate the static depth d when designing the bending of block foundations (calculation as an equivalent beam)?
- Can the properties, such as B. the cross -section or the surface thickness as well as the material of a surface of an existing element for a new element?
-
I created a very simple model to check the manual calculation. I can't get to the expected results. Could you give me an advice please?
- How do I apply prestress to tension members?
- Does the load generation also work for curved members?
- I would like to calculate and design "temporary structures." What do I need for this?
- I design timber components. The deformations of load combinations deviate from the manual calculation exactly by the factor of the material partial safety factor. Why?
- I often edit the reinforcement provided by the program. Adjusting the reinforcement by using coordinates takes much effort and time if having several beams in the model. Is there any way to speed up the reinforcement editing?
- Which programs can I use to calculate and design power plants?
- Which filter settings should be selected in the material library for concrete in order to perform design in RF‑CONCRETE according to the Swedish National Annex? In RFEM, there is no Swedish standard group available for the selection.
