A single-mass system with dashpot is subjected to a constant loading force. Determine the spring force, the damping force and the inertial force at given test time. In this verification example, the Kelvin--Voigt dashpot, namely, a spring and a damper element in serial connection, is decomposed into its purely viscous and purely elastic parts, in order to better evaluate the reaction forces.

You can download this structural model to use it for training purposes or for your projects. However, we do not assume any guarantee or liability for the accuracy or completeness of the model.
Use the Edit Nodes function to adjust the node type with the automatic specification of all necessary secondary properties. You also have the option to transfer a node to a line or to a member, or to place it between two nodes and two points.
RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9 support the ergonomically optimized utilization of a mobile 3D mouse by 3Dconnexion.
With a 3D mouse, you can simultaneously move, zoom, and flip a 3D model on the screen beyond the use of a regular mouse. The 3D mouse complements the conventional computer mouse and is operated with your free hand. Therefore, you can streamline the workflow if you operate a 3D mouse with your non-dominant hand, in addition to the normal mouse.
The deformation process of the global deformation components can be represented as a movement sequence.
It is possible to save different model versions within a model by using the Save as Version function. In the Base Data of the model, the different model versions can be displayed in the History tab.
