First Steps with RFEM
Description
RFEM is a structural analysis program for structural and dynamic analysis and design of 3D structures.
This introductory video explains in 5 minutes the FEA structural analysis software RFEM workflow, which options are offered, and the basic user interface. This short video also gives an overview of the entire design process including the initial model input and design up to the final documentation and printout report for your review engineers.

Parameterized FE model for design of rigid end plate joints
The design of rigid end plate connections is particularly complex for four-row connection geometries and multi-axis bending stresses because there is a lack of official design methods.

Automatic Determination of Number of Load Increments
If the check box "Number of load increments" is deactivated, the number of load increments will be determined automatically in RFEM to solve nonlinear tasks efficiently.
The used method is based on a heuristic algorithm.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- Is it sufficient to use a line hinge between two surfaces?
- Are the models and presentations from Info Day 2020 freely available, and can you send them to me?
- In my structure, a channel section runs flush with a surface. How can I display the welded connection in detail?
- In my structure, a channel section runs flush with a surface. What is the easiest way to simulate a welded connection?
- In RF-PUNCH Pro, I get an error message saying that the selected edges of the surface do not converge to a corner. What does it mean? How can I fix the error?
- How can I shorten a member by a certain amount?
- How can I delete the individual loads by load case?
- How can I define individually or simultaneously acting load cases from different actions?
- Can I create a user-defined load or result combination despite the automatic load combination?
