Parameterized FE Model for Designing Rigid End Plate Joints
Designing rigid end plate connections is difficult for four-row connection geometries and multi-axis bending stresses, because there are no official design methods.

Extended Display of Strains in RFEM
Display extended strains of members, surfaces and solids (for example, the important principal strains, equivalent total strains, and so on) in the Project Navigator - Results in RFEM as well as in Table 4.0.
For example, you can display governing plastic strains when performing the plastic design of connections with surface elements.
- I would like to use surface releases to model a bolt connection, which can only absorb compressive stresses from the support. Unfortunately, I cannot do this because my model is always unstable. Is there a model as a template?
- The design of my connection is not possible because of an incorrect geometry input. What can I do?
- How can I model and design general bolted connections with the surface and solid elements in RFEM?
- How do I set a release for warping?
