Question

When calculating a result combination, why does RF‑/STEEL not determine the same maximum internal forces as in the results within the result combination itself?


Answer:
This behavior is caused by the detail settings in the RF‑/STEEL add-on module. The results of result combinations can be used in many different ways.

To use the same maximum internal forces for stress analysis, the settings should be made according to Image 01.

However, this setting is very conservative because not all maximum internal forces can occur at the same time.
