First Steps with RFEM
Description
As the geothermal energy market is continuously increasing, the company BAUER Maschinen GmbH has developed a new deep drilling rig, which was used for the structural analysis done by the Dlubal Software customer Ing.-Büro H.-U. Möller from Minden, Germany. The system is used to make drillings reaching a depth of 22,966 ft in the area of geothermal energy, oil, or gas.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- How can I use the COM interface to B. delete all nodes or members in a model?
- Is it possible to keep the results from RWIND Simulation when deleting the FE mesh if I only adjust materials or support conditions?
- How can I change the colors of the selection and preselection?
- 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?
- What happens with the programs and add-on modules in the case of the timeout of a network license? And how can I increase the timeout?
- Why is it not possible to select a load case for design in the RF‑/STEEL add-on module, although it is defined in RFEM/RSTAB?
- Does the load generation also work for curved members?
- What are the possible effects of renumbering elements on the printout report and the add-on modules?
