First Steps with RFEM
Description
When connecting tensile stresses structural components with bolted connections, it is necessary to consider the cross-section reduction due to the bolt holes in the ultimate limit state design. The following article describes how is it possible to perform the tension resistance design according to EN 1993‑1‑1 with the net cross-section area of a tension member in the RF‑/STEEL EC3 add-on module.

Consideration of the net cross-section for tensile stress according to EN 1993-1-1
When connecting tension-loaded components with bolted connections, the cross-section weakening due to the bolt holes must be considered in the ultimate limit state design. This article describes how the design of the tension resistance according to DIN EN 1993-1-1 can be performed with the net cross-section area of the tension member in the RF-/STEEL EC3 add-on module.
- I have just noticed that the STEEL EC3 add-on module also calculates with γM0 = 1.0 when designing a tension member, although it should actually be γM2 = 1.25. How can I perform the design correctly?
- Where can I find the materials for the corresponding National Annexes in RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9?
- How do I apply wind load on members of open structures?
- Is it also possible to use RF‑/TOWER Loading without the other TOWER add-on modules?
- I do not want to design a cross-section in the RF‑/STEEL EC3 add-on module. Can I quickly remove this cross-section from the selection?
- I have a roof structure resting on a steel column that runs to the foundations. The column runs through a perimeter wall that supports the false ceiling. A considerable part of the load from the roof is transferred to the wall. I want the steel column to carry all the vertical loads from the roof. How can I do it?
- Are the models and presentations from Info Day 2018 freely available, and can you send them to me?
- I encountered a sharing violation while importing a dxf file into SHAPE-THIN. What is the issue?
- How can I display membrane stresses in the results of RF‑STEEL Surfaces?
- What is the meaning of the superposition according to the CQC rule in a dynamic analysis??
