Changing Boundary Lines of a Surface
Tips & Tricks
This article was translated by Google Translator
If the geometry of a surface, for which you must remove some of the existing boundary lines, changes subsequently, you don't need to redefine the surface.
By double-clicking the relevant surface, you open the ‘Edit Surface’ dialog box. You can use the pick function to select the boundary lines. If lines that are already in the list are selected again, they are removed from the list. This option allows you to save a lot of time, especially for geometrically complex surfaces with many boundary lines.

Once you have determined the final tendon geometry in RF‑TENDON, exporting the model to a CAD program can be useful. For this purpose, the module includes the option to export the file in the .dxf file format.

Material Model Orthotropic Masonry 2D
The material model Orthotropic Masonry 2D is an elastoplastic model that additionally allows softening of the material, which can be different in the local x- and y-direction of a surface. The material model is suitable for (unreinforced) masonry walls with in-plane loads.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Is it possible to set user-defined values when viewing solid stress results?
- The calculation of my model results in unrealistically high stresses at many locations. What is the reason?
-
Is it possible to change the font size in the result diagrams window? - Can I use surface releases to separate two overlapping surfaces?
- Why are the values of a column base, head or center on the individual columns only displayed partially for the results from the calculation in RF‑CONCRETE Columns?
- In RF-/TIMBER AWC and RF-/TIMBER CSA, I receive the error that says torsion limit exceeded. How do I bypass this error message?
- I am trying to manually check the deformations from the CRANEWAY add-on module. However, I obtain great deviations. How to explain the differences?
- Can I consider a reduction of the stiffness according to the German regulation NCI NA.5.9 in TIMBER Pro?
- Why is the strength always reduced by the kmod value of 0.6 during the calculation in the RF‑LAMINATE add‑on module, although I have load combinations with variable loads?
- What should be considered when using a failure of columns under tension in the RF‑/DYNAM Pro – Equivalent Loads add-on module?
