Simulating Membrane Effect Using Temperature Change in RFEM 6

Simulation of membrane effect in RFEM 6 with temperature change load type and centerline temperature feature.

The image demonstrates the process of simulating the membrane effect within RFEM 6 using the 'Temperature Change' load type. Emphasis is placed on utilizing the centerline temperature (Tc) for accurate analysis. This technique assists engineers in understanding the thermal impact on structural behavior. It is a valuable tool for exploring temperature-induced effects on construction materials.
