First Steps with RFEM
Description
This video discusses the distribution of the statical moment.
First, we draw the z-t distribution, then integrate the individual surfaces, which leads to determination of the statical moment Sy.
The s-coordinates help here. The sensible orientation of these coordinates has a great effect on this distribution.
This video shows the difference between calculation by the central axes and a more precise calculation.
Since, in the simplified system, the height goes from the web to the central axes of the flanges, a higher value of the governing statical moment will result.

Parametrization of Rolled Cross-Sections
Rolled sections, the most common cross‑section type in RFEM and RSTAB, can also have user‑defined parameters.
- How can I exchange data between RFEM 5 / RSTAB 8 and Tekla Structures 2023?
- I get a warning that a file created with RFEM, RSTAB, or RSECTION contains a virus or a Trojan horse. What should I do?
- My Surface Book is recognized as a "Hyper V" virtual machine, so my local license does not work. What can I do?
