Connection in Steel Structure Using Solid Elements and Contact
Model to Download
Description
The model is an example for modeling contact via surface releases, special meshing options for solid elements, and connecting members to surfaces and solid elements.
Furthermore, the model is calculated plastically with the RF-MAT NL add-on module. This results in stress redistributions.

- Is it possible to model and structurally analyze solids in RFEM?
- I would like to model a threaded rod as a 3D solid in RFEM. Is this possible?
- How can I create a section through a solid to evaluate the results at any location?
-
The load distribution on my members looks different when using the Load Transfer surface vs. the Load Wizards. What is the reason?
- I received an error message “Surface of incompatible type... (Surface in upper plane of building story must be of ‘Load transfer’ type)” when running the calculation. What is the reason?
