First Steps with RFEM
Description
This video shows how the diagram of the statical moment of area Q y is calculated using SHAPE-THIN. In SHAPE-THIN, cross-sections can be comfortably and quickly created.
In this way, the statical moment of area Q y as well as the corresponding z-t diagram can be determined.
The wrong orientations of the cross-section parts lead to wrong signs.
For this reason, the cross-section parts will be oriented in the direction of the s-coordinates, in this way you get the same results as in the manual calculations.
Then, possible errors that could occur in the program by overlapping cross-section parts will be fixed.

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?
