Design Supports in RFEM 6
Video
First Steps with RFEM
Description
The design supports essentially have two functions:
1. Definition of the boundary conditions for the verification of 'pressure perpendicular to the grain in timber construction. For concrete construction with regard to the anchorage length, moment reduction and single loads close to the support.
2. Segmentation of the member or set of members for the deflection analysis

Slab-Wall Connections in RFEM 6
The properties of the connection between a reinforced concrete slab and a masonry wall can be correctly considered in the modeling using a special line hinge that is available in RFEM 6. This article will show you how to define this type of hinge by using a practical example.

How can I efficiently define line hinges on several surfaces?
- Why does the load wizard "Member Load from Area Load" give unnecessary concentrated loads?
- The load distribution on my members looks different when using the Load Transfer surface vs. the Load Wizards. What is the reason?
- 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?
- Why cannot I define a rotation when defining layers?
- My live load is less than or equal to 100 psf. How do I consider the reduced load factor in the ASCE 7 load combinations?
- I do not see the seismic load cases in my generated ASCE 7 load combinations (COs). How do I add them?
- How do I create an imperfection based on a mode shape in RFEM 6?
- How do I apply the ASCE 7 Orthogonal Directional Combination procedure (100% + 30% rule) to my seismic load in a static analysis?
- Why does the eHORA map of Austria give different snow loads than your Geo-Zone tool?
