Adjusting Result Values for Surfaces
Tips & Tricks
For relatively large or relatively small surfaces, it can happen that the automatically created result values do not fit the model: In case of large surfaces, there can be too much result values, in case of small surfaces, too few.
The reason for this is that in RFEM the distance of the grid points is preset to 0.5 meters. This value can be changed in the "Grid" tab of the "Edit Surfaces" dialog box (see Figure 02). Thus, it is possible to change the number of grid points, or you can set the distance manually. Furthermore, the grid points can be displayed graphically before the calculation using the Display Navigator in order to better estimate the amount and the distance.
Basically, any result values can also be hidden. To do this, select the desired result values and then hide them using the context menu (see Figure 03). Filter settings are also possible using the shortcut menu.

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.
