- Creation of a pre-deformed FE mesh in RFEM
- Generation of equivalent imperfections of members as equivalent loads, considering
- the reduction factors αu and αm (Eurocode)
- the precamber rises according to buckling stress curves
- Deformation of the structure due to nodal displacement
- Generation of imperfections in accordance with:
- the load case deformations
- the buckling shapes from RF-STABILITY/RSBUCK
- Equivalent imperfections on members and sets of members (for example, columns consisting of several members)
- Visualization of generated imperfection modes
RF-IMP/RSIMP | Features
Use the "Independent mesh preferred" option in the FE mesh settings to create an independent FE mesh for the integrated objects. This allows you to generate a significantly more detailed and precise FE mesh for individual objects that are integrated into one another.
In the "Edit Section" dialog box, you can display the buckling shapes of the Finite Strip Method (FSM) as a 3D graphic.
In RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9, you have the option to enter "Visual Objects" as guide objects. You can import the file formats 3ds, stl, and obj.
These objects allow you to create a better reference to the dimensions.
Do you have individual column sections and angled wall geometries, and need punching shear design for them?
No problem. In RFEM 6, you can perform punching shear design not only for rectangular and circular sections, but for any cross-section shape.
