Representatives are patterns for 1D objects that have identical properties with regard to material, cross-section, member type, and length. These representatives can be understood as "member patterns". They facilitate the evaluation and documentation of the results. Since only the member or set of members with the governing internal forces of all similar types is examined, representatives provide a good overview in the program and in the printout.
General information on the use of representatives can be found in the chapters Member Representatives and Set of Members Representatives of the RFEM manual.
Select the representatives for the design in the input table Objects to Be Designed. You can also activate the included members or sets of members for design if you want the output for the individual objects.
