[EN] FAQ 002874 | When using nonlinear material, I get an error message, what should I do?

Question:
When using nonlinear material, I get an error message; what should I do?

Answer:
RF‑MAT NL allows you to use various nonlinear material models. If you combine members, surfaces, and/or solids in RFEM, it is necessary to assign the nonlinear material models individually to members (1D) as well as to surfaces and solids (2D/3D).

The nonlinear material model (2D/3D) cannot be assigned to the members as 1D elements.
