Where can I display or adjust the local axis systems in RFEM 6?
Answer
It is possible to display local axis systems for Lines, Members, Surfaces and Solids. The selection of display is available for example in Project Navigator, Display tab.
For surfaces the X and Y axis fit in the plane of the surface and the Z axis is perpendicular to it. The direction of local Z for a surface is not dependent on Global direction of Z Axis.
For members the X axis by default is located along the member, and the Y and Z axes are perpendicular. For most of the profiles, the Z axis is located along the stronger axis of inertia of an element.
The local axis system can be reversed by the option in the context menu of a given element, or in the case of Surfaces, by the element options of Specific axes.
