Facade structural analysis
Glossary Term
While the term structural analysis generally refers to the load -bearing and possibly invisible elements of a building, the façade protrudes from the outside and primarily has an architectural and design function.
However, a facade is also exposed to various loads such as wind loads and therefore requires structural planning.
Facades can typically consist of the following material:
- Glass
- Aluminum
- Timber
- Concrete
- Masonry

Integration of objects in quadrangle surfaces
In RFEM, surfaces are automatically connected if they have common boundary lines. In the case of quadrangle surfaces, however, the automatic object detection would be relatively complex.

Increased Calculation Performance by Reducing the Nodal Degrees of Freedom
The number of degrees of freedom in a node is no longer a global calculation parameter in RFEM (6 degrees of freedom for each mesh node in 3D models, 7 degrees of freedom for the warping torsion analysis). Thus, each node is generally considered with a different number of degrees of freedom, which leads to a variable number of equations in the calculation.
This modification speeds up the calculation, especially for models where a significant reduction of the system could be achieved (e.g. trusses and membrane structures).
- How can I use the COM interface to B. delete all nodes or members in a model?
- Why does the vertical position of a result member in my model have no influence on the bending moment My of the member?
- Is it possible to keep the results from RWIND Simulation when deleting the FE mesh if I only adjust materials or support conditions?
- How do I model a tent roof with two cone tips?
- How can I change the colors of the selection and preselection?
- How can I create a curved or arched section?
- How are the signs for the release results of a line release and line hinges interpreted?
- Is it possible to make the generated member loads from area loads via plane to act eccentrically on the member cross-section?
- After the calculation in the RF‑/DYNAM Pro - Equivalent Loads add-on module, the size of my file has increased significantly. The performance has worsened enormously. What could be the reason for this?
- Why are my imperfections displayed graphically in different ways and can I adjust the display?
