First Steps with RFEM
Description
Plastic hinges are imperative for the Pushover Analysis (POA) as a nonlinear static method for the seismic analysis of structures. In RFEM 6, plastic hinges can be defined as member hinges. This video will show you how to define plastic hinges with bilinear properties.

This article will show you how to define plastic hinges with bilinear properties.
- How is the plastic torsion determined in the plastic hinge definition?
- My model in RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9 is unstable. What could be the reason?
- The cross-sections from my imported IFC file are not converted correctly.
- When importing a cross-section from RSECTION 1, I get an error message regarding the version. What can I do?
- There are no automatic load combinations created. What can I do?
- I get Error 1327: Calculation failed. What can I do?
- The result of extreme values is not displayed. Where can I activate the max/min information?
- I would like to determine and consider the stiffness of a line support using a fictitious wall. Why is this option grayed out?
- The load distribution on my members looks different when using the Load Transfer surface vs. the Load Wizards. What is the reason?
