Question
In a section through a surface, the result diagrams are not displayed in the entire area of the section. What is the reason?Answer
If the section was defined on an unused line, activate the "Integrate unutilized objects into surfaces" check box in FE Mesh Settings. There is a section defined on Line 7 and Line 12 in Figure 01. Line 7 has no other function for Surface 1. It is neither the boundary line of Surface 1, nor does it have a support or a load. In FE Mesh Settings, the "Integrate unutilized objects into surfaces" check box is deactivated so that no result diagrams are displayed on Line 7. On the other hand, Line 12 is subjected to a load, so there are the result diagrams displayed on this line. If selecting the "Integrate unutilized objects into surfaces" checkbox, the result diagrams are also displayed on Line 7.
If the section runs through several surfaces, the respective surfaces have to be specified in the "On Surface No." section. Figure 02 shows a section through Surface 3 and Surface 4. In the "On Surfaces No." section, Surface 3 is only specified so that the result diagrams are displayed on this surface only. Surface 4 would have to be specified in the "On Surfaces No." section in order to also display the result diagrams here.

Structural Analysis Models to Download
You can download here a wide range of structural models (for example, RFEM, RSTAB, or RWIND files) that you can use for training purposes or for your projects.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- How can I find out in which version of RFEM/RSTAB was the model saved?
- I have installed Rhino 7. When trying to export the model to RFEM, the data are not transferred. What do I wrong?
- I often edit the reinforcement provided by the program. Adjusting the reinforcement by using coordinates takes much effort and time if having several beams in the model. Is there any way to speed up the reinforcement editing?
- I would like to import a large, curved surface from Rhino into RFEM, but I get the following error message: "Command: ExportToRFEM5. Nodes compare tolerance is set too low. You could adjust it by document units settings. Export error. Error to write data, message: Coordinate Z is out of range. Export to RFEM finished." How can I fix this error?
- I have already divided my membrane roof into individual surfaces. Can I quickly create a cutting pattern from these surfaces?
- How do I display the load combination description according to an action category, such as "D, L, W," instead of "LC1, LC2, LC3"?
- How is an inflatable object simulated in RFEM?
- I design timber components. The deformations of load combinations deviate from the manual calculation exactly by the factor of the material partial safety factor. Why?
- I cannot activate an add-on module by using a Remote Desktop. Can you explain the error message to me?
- How can I edit the list of parameters by using the COM interface?
