First Steps with RFEM
Description
The support conditions of a beam subjected to bending are essential for its resistance to lateral-torsional buckling. If, for example, a single-span beam is held laterally in the middle of the span, the deflection of the compressed flange can be prevented, and a two-wave eigenmode can be enforced. The critical lateral-torsional buckling moment is increased significantly by this additional measure. In the add-on modules for member design, different types of lateral supports on a member can be defined using the "Intermediate supports" input window.

Entering Intermediate Lateral Restraints for Lateral Support of Members and Sets of Members
The support conditions of a beam subjected to bending are essential for its resistance to lateral-torsional buckling.
- I need to define different types of lateral intermediate restrains for a single element in RF-/STEEL EC3. Is this possible?
- When entering data in the RF‑/STEEL EC3 add-on module, I get the error message "Incorrect location of the intermediate lateral restraint". Why?
- How do I create a splice connection in the Steel Joints add-on?
