A selection means picking up objects from a set of objects. The selection can be done manually by exact object names or depending on certain object properties. The set of objects can include different types of objects.
In computer science, a set of objects is stored in a database. A selection is then a type of query with specific criteria. The resulting selection can be graphically highlighted for the user and made available for further editing. Selections with their discrete request criteria are also stored in a database for later use.
There are various selection options available for selecting objects.
Examples of Selection
- Nodes with the uZ deformation > 10 mm
- Members with member numbers 13, 17-18
- Objects with a Z-ordinate between +5 m and +10 m
Selection in RFEM 5 and RSTAB 8
Criteria-related selections can be defined in a dialog box using the menu "Edit" → "Select" → "Special".
Selection in RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9
You can select objects graphically in the work window, or by clicking the corresponding entries in the table or the navigator. A criteria-related selection can be defined as Object Selection using the menu "Insert" → "Guide Objects" → "Object Selections" → "Dialog Box".
