Temperature-Time Diagram

For fire resistance design, the Steel Design add-on allows you to calculate the governing steel temperature at the time of the design. Define the essential parameters and the temperature curve used in the Fire Resistance Configuration. After the design, you can display the temperature curves of gas and steel in a temperature-time diagram.

You can open the temperature-time diagram by clicking the Temperature-Time Diagram button in Design Check Details or by using the same button when selecting the fire resistance design in the result table.

Click the Linear or Logarithmic Scale button to switch the ordinate and abscissa from the linear to the logarithmic scale.

For example, if you want to print the diagram in the printout report, click the Direct Print button. Various options are available here, which are also described in the corresponding section of the RFEM 6 manual and in Chapter Graphic Printout. Please note that this graphic printout is only available as a snapshot and is not updated automatically when modifying the model.

Right-click the diagram interface to open the shortcut menu, which provides further options for adjusting the diagram. The "Graph Settings" option leads directly to the corresponding entry in the Display Properties. Among other things, you can define the colors and font sizes used in the diagram.
