Creating RSECTION Cross-Section from DXF File
Product Feature
Would you like to create a cross-section from the import of a DXF file? It's very easy. You have the following options:
- Create elements automatically
- Use DXF template lines as centerlines of elements with a defined thickness
Do you select the option to create the elements automatically? In that case, the program creates the elements and the associated parts for you from the contour of the outline. It only creates the elements not exceeding a definable maximum thickness. Do you have the cross-section geometry as a gravity line model? Then use DXF template lines as centerlines of elements with a defined thickness. Define a thickness that is assigned equally to all elements. Do you miss the "Create elements automatically" and "Create elements on lines" functions? Don't worry, both are also available in the "Edit" menu under "Manipulation."

Thin-Walled Analysis in RSECTION 1
This article is discussing the thin-walled analysis method in RSECTION 1, with which the section properties for both gross and effective cross-sections are calculated analytically (based on the section’s elements).

When importing a cross-section from RSECTION 1, I get an error message regarding the version. What can I do?
- When using the search function of the cross-section library, a lot of similar cross-section series are displayed. How can I limit the search results to the exact cross-section description?
- When modeling, I use the "Auto connect lines/members" function. However, RFEM 6 always creates a connection node of the "on member" type. How do I proceed to automatically divide the members?
- How can I activate or deactivate the "Drag and Drop" function?
- Is it possible to borrow an online license of RFEM 6/RSTAB 9 over an extended period of time?
-
I signed in with my Dlubal online license at 12:39 AM (Central European Summer Time). I would like to reserve the license for 24 hours. However, my account shows me that my session will end at 10:39 AM. What has caused this difference?
- I have display problems in RFEM 6, RSTAB 9, and RSECTION 1, or the program crashes immediately after starting it. What options do I have to improve this?
- Does the analysis method selected in RSECTION affect the cross-section design in RFEM/RSTAB?
