Question:
How can I implement a rigid coupling between two surfaces in RFEM 6?
Answer:
The special object "Rigid Link" is suitable for this:
Data Navigator → Special Objects → Rigid Link
The following three types are available:
- Line to line
- Line to surface
- Plane (suitable for stiffening planes)
In this case, "Line to line" or "Line to surface" is suitable; see the image.

Use the "Independent mesh preferred" option in the FE mesh settings to create an independent FE mesh for the integrated objects. This allows you to generate a significantly more detailed and precise FE mesh for individual objects that are integrated into one another.
In the "Edit Section" dialog box, you can display the buckling shapes of the Finite Strip Method (FSM) as a 3D graphic.
In RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9, you have the option to enter "Visual Objects" as guide objects. You can import the file formats 3ds, stl, and obj.
These objects allow you to create a better reference to the dimensions.
