First Steps with RFEM
Description
Actions are defined and categorized in standards to ensure engineers are able to work with the fundamental basics.
In the building industry, actions can be simply described as direct or indirect loads acting on a structure.
Direct actions are forces or loads, and indirect actions include restraints or deformations.
Actions are divided into permanent, variable, and accidental actions.

Practical Applications using Python and RFEM 6 | 2D Truss Generator
This article looks at a practical use-case of programming a 2D Truss Generator GUI with Python.
-
The load distribution on my members looks different when using the Load Transfer surface vs. the Load Wizards. What is the reason?
- My beam has a continuous lateral support and therefore lateral torsional buckling (LTB) is not a concern. How do I define the effective length?
- I received an error message “Surface of incompatible type... (Surface in upper plane of building story must be of ‘Load transfer’ type)” when running the calculation. What is the reason?
- How can I efficiently define line hinges on several surfaces?
- Why cannot I define a rotation when defining layers?
