Material Model Orthotropic Masonry 2D
The material model Orthotropic Masonry 2D is an elastoplastic model that additionally allows softening of the material, which can be different in the local x- and y-direction of a surface. The material model is suitable for (unreinforced) masonry walls with in-plane loads.
- When calculating deformations in RF‑CONCRETE Members, I get jumps in the deformation diagram. Why?
- Why can I no longer display the intermediate results in RF‑CONCRETE Members?
- Can I use RF‑CONCRETE Surfaces to determine the steel mass for the inserted reinforcement?
- In connection with the analytical SLS calculation, I get implausibly large values for the crack width and deformation in the RF‑CONCRETE add-on modules. What is the cause and how can I fix the problem?
- When opening an RFEM file, the entries in RF‑CONCRETE Surfaces are lost. Is it possible?
- Is it possible to take a user-defined national annex as a basis for concrete design?
- Is it possible to adjust the initial values of the temperature courses entered for the fire resistance design? For example, I would like to adjust the initial value of the moisture content.
- Regarding a nonlinear analysis of reinforced concrete, is there any feature in the program that increases the load until failure? Or is there any way how to describe the load increment until failure?
- Can I define a beam with a specific reinforcement in RFEM and then obtain design of this reinforcement with the utilization?
- Where can I set partial safety factors for design in RF-CONCRETE Members?
