First Steps with RFEM
Description
The architectural requirements for guard rails are still very high and railings usually require a high degree of transparency. Glass railings, where no other frame structure can be seen, represent a possibility for implementation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Which stresses are most important for glass design consideration when using RF-GLASS?
- I would like to extend an existing structure with a false ceiling that is not connected to the existing columns. How can I model it?
- For line releases, I obtain the resultants in the horizontal direction, which I cannot understand.
- Where can I find the details of a layer composition in the RF‑GLASS add-on module?
- How can I display wind speeds at a certain height above the ground for a wind comfort analysis?
- I would like to design a glass pane with temperature loads. In this case, a message appears saying that the load case includes the "temperature" surface loads types that are not transferred to the created temporary model. How can I consider the temperature loads?
- Is it possible to design a spherically curved glass pane in RF‑GLASS?
- In the calculation parameters of a load case or load combination, it is possible to activate various stiffness factors. What exactly is behind this?
- Are there any programs or add-on modules specially developed for glass structures?
- Can I also use the wind load generator for open buildings?
