First Steps with RFEM
Description
The previous article, Lateral Torsional Buckling in Timber Structures | Examples 1, explains the practical application for the determination of the critical bending moment Mcrit or the critical bending stress σcrit for the lateral buckling of a bending beam by using simple examples. In this article, the critical bending moment is determined taking into account an elastic foundation resulting from a stiffening bracing.

Timber Design | Result Filter by Limit State
The design checks are available in a tabular form in the Timber Design add-on. The distribution of the design ratios can also be displayed graphically. There are extensive filter options available in the table as well as in the graphical output to display the desired design checks by a limit state or a design type.

How do I define a member as a cantilever and not as supported at both ends for serviceability or deflection design?
- I would like to export nodal support forces of several load cases, load combinations and result combinations into an Excel spreadsheet in RFEM 6. How should I proceed?
- Where can find the option to hide the defined types (for example, design supports or effective lengths)?
- How do I create a user-defined Design Situation with my own chosen load combinations?
- How can I neglect torsion in the steel and timber design?
- How do I perform stability analysis to determine the critical load factor in RFEM 6?
