Description

In this video you can see how the orthotropic and isotropic materials can be defined via the material thickness type in RFEM 6. Orthotropic material describes a material behavior where on a 2D surface a higher stiffness in x-direction of the shell compared to the y-direction of the shell can be defined. For 3D solids it is also possible to define a different material behavior in z-direction.
